We have all heard many inspirational tales in Bollywood but here’s one of a unique kind. Selling vegetables on the streets of Surat to turning singer, his journey has been an eventful one. Meet Arun Kumar Nikam, an ardent admirer of Salman Khan, whose adulation for the actor has made him pursue his dream. The fan will be launching his second musical venture, a song titled ‘Kaise Miloon Main..?’, dedicated to his favourite star on the eve of the latter’s birthday. Anyone can be a Salman Khan fan, however, only a true fan gets truly inspired by his idol! Commendable, isn’t it? Not knowing that he was meant to be a singer-writer, Arun Kumar Nikam, a Maharashtrian from a middle-class family in Jalgaon, reminisced that one incident, when Salman Khan was accused and people claimed he was a criminal, “I failed in my 12th exams as I could not concentrate at all.

But I think it’s important to give ourselves an experience like this. Spiritual teacher Maharishikaa Preeti really helped me.”...

Indians are Indians when it comes to patriotism. Even if the talent across the border is the best, the Hindustani feeling always reigns. Literally in this case, for Sunny Hindustani, the young talent from the Indian Idol 11, recommended by Vishal Dadlani and roped in by composer  Shamir   Tandon , has actually replaced the legendary Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in the song ‘Main Jaanta Hoon’ of the Emraan Hashmi starrer, The Body.  That’s not all! A little birdie tells us that a scared Sunny Hindustani managed to impress  Shamir   Tandon  at a one-take recording in his studio. And what’s more is that Emraan Hashmi seems to have developed a liking for the duo’s soulful melody. “I like music that touches the soul. When Sunny Khanna made me hear this song composed by  Shamir  ( Tandon ) and sung by Sunny Hindustani, I loved its nuances, the delicate melody and its meaningful lyrics.” Will we get to hear more from the duo in Emraan’s next… only time wil...
