Sonu Nigam sang on the streets of Juhu in Mumbai, in the guise of an old man recently and was touched when a boy handed him INR 12.

Almost a week after the social experiment, the Bollywood singer found the boy, with the help of Being Indian -- the digital channel that conducted the social experiment with Sonu. The generous guy, Shabaz Ali Sayyed was brought in to the studio and was taken by surprise to see Sonu Nigam, who gave him a tight hug and showed him the framed money which was placed amidst his awards.

zafar | 7 years ago | Reply Proves an old saying. Majority in india is miser. Its the minorities whp are generous people. And it all has to do with religion. Some religions are all about exploitation of social classes through caste systems.
Gp65 | 7 years ago | Reply @Atheist: Exactly right. Did Shahbaz know that the person he was appreciating was Hindu? No. Did Sonu know that the person he was going to give back to was a Muslim? No. Don't bring religion into everything.
