Known for singing mesmerising numbers Suraj hua maddham, Kal ho naa ho and Saathiya, the singer admits his passion for singing is intact. Sonu, who also tried his hand at acting, says at that time the audiences were not ready to accept singers as actors. "I feel at that time people were not ready to accept a singer as an actor. But now audiences are ready," said Sonu, who featured in the 2004 movie Love In Nepal.
