“I am honoured and grateful to have received these recognitions. Music has been my passion all my life, and being acknowledged across countries, especially by the UK Parliament for the second time, is humbling. I dedicate these awards to my fans, who have loved me and supported me throughout my journey,” says Sanu.

The event brought together music enthusiasts, prominent personalities, and dignitaries to honour Kumar Sanu’s enduring legacy. He recently collaborated with singer Akriti Kakar for a track. Titled Sohbatein, the number has an ’80s vibe and it has been composed and sung by Akriti.

The singer was accompanied by his daughter, singer Shannon K, who also performed with him at a show in London following the award ceremonies. “It’s great to be valued for your dedication to your craft. I can never forget recording 28 songs in a single day many years ago. That’s how much I love and worship my work. I am grateful that my dedication has been noticed by people in another country,” Sanu ends.
