Sonu also threatened to release the video of Marina Kuwar, who had accused Bhushan of sexual harassment in the past but later retracted her claims. That is why Bhushan requested him for help, and Sonu has admitted in his video that he requested him for help,” she said.

Did Sonu Nigam have links with Abu Salem? He definitely did.

“I now want to ask you Sonu Nigam ji why Bhushan ji came to you for help on this matter. Defending her husband, Divya alleged that the singer was in a position to save him from Abu Salem, as they had links. Sonu also claimed in his video that Bhushan came to him and requested him to save him from gangster Abu Salem. He did not think Bhushan would ever amount to anything and decided to safeguard himself. “In 1998, when the T-Series family faced a setback and Gulshan Kumar ji was assassinated, Sonu Nigam thought T-Series was finished as Bhushan was just 18 and did not know the ropes of the business. Divya said that in time of their need, Sonu didn’t come to their family’s aid. T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar was shot dead in 1997. Gulshan ji backed so many of your films and albums, and helped you reach this stage. Gulshan Kumar ji spotted him, recognised his talent, bought him flight tickets to come to Mumbai and told him, ‘Beta, I will make you a very big artist!’ Tell us Sonu Nigam, were you told this or not? This is the truth. Divya said, “I want to tell everyone that Sonu Nigam himself used to sing in Delhi’s Ramleela for Rs 5. In his video this week, Sonu had claimed that Bhushan came to him, requesting an introduction to Bal Thackeray, Smita Thackeray and Sahara chief Subrata Roy. It is easy to hide behind the camera and make accusations of social media but on the ground level, you have never helped any new talent come forward,” she said in the video. Neither did you seek chances for any new talent nor did you introduce any new names in the industry. “You are a legend, so many people must come to you looking for work, but you have never recommended any new talent to T-Series. In his first video, Sonu Nigam had said: “You might soon hear about suicides in the music industry.”Īddressing Sonu, she accused him of only caring about his own career. I would like to ask Sonu Nigam ji, who claims that talent is not getting a chance in the industry, how many people he has given a chance to, till date.”Īctor Sushant Sigh Rajput’s death has triggered a renewed debate around nepotism in the Hind film industry. Out of them, four people - Neha Kakkar, Himansh Kohli, Rakul Preet Singh and composer Arko - are big names today. In my own directorial venture Yaariyaan, I gave a break to 10 newcomers. These include composers, singers, lyricists, actors, directors. I want to say that T-Series has launched thousands of artists who are outsiders with no connection to the industry. In a video shared on Instagram, Divya said in Hindi, “For the last few days, Sonu Nigam has been running a campaign against T-Series and Bhushan Kumar ji. The singer had claimed in a video that Bhushan begged him for protection from gangster Abu Salem over two decades ago.ĭivya said Sonu was running a ‘campaign’ to bring down her husband and their music label.

Days after singer Sonu Nigam levelled serious allegations against her husband and T-Series head Bhushan Kumar, actor-filmmaker Divya Khosla Kumar has hit back with a point-by-point rebuttal in a new video.
