Indore- Renowned playback singer Sonu Nigam was on Sunday honoured with the National Lata Mangeshkar Award in Indore for his outstanding contribution to the field of light music.

Chief Minister Mohan Yadav presented the award to Nigam at Mangeshkar's birthplace here on her 96th birth anniversary.

“Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar took Indian music to new heights with her voice. This award, given in her name, is unique. It is a tribute to the contribution of those artists who have left an indelible mark in the field of music,” Yadav said.

The state government is honoured to present the award to Nigam, he said.

Responding to the honour, 52-year-old Nigam turned emotional. He said he felt deeply humbled to receive the award on the same stage where he had performed three decades ago during the Lata Mangeshkar Alankaran ceremony.

“Lata ji is not only an inspiration, but also a living tradition of music. I feel blessed to receive this honour. This moment is one of the most special moments of my life,” he said.
