In an interview with India Today, Sonu made a more quite controversial statement.

Sonu had staed that he wished he were from Pakistan as then at least, he would get singing offers from India. He also insisted how Indian singers have to pay music companies to do the show while Pakistani singers are not forced to do that. He also cited examples of good friend Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Sonu alos stated that they were never asked to pay to sing at shows. Ahead of the obvious counterattacks, Nigam took to Facebook to clarify his proclamation.

Sonu wrote, "Sometimes in an attempt to make headlines catchy and sensational, some journalists miss the real content. Yesterday's Aajtak Summit happened so amazing, and look what have they reduced it to... My point about being better off being born in Pakistan was about the music companies in India asking Indian singers to pay 40-50% of their concerts remunerations to them, and only then they'll work with those artistes.. but they don't ask the same from the singers from abroad, namely Pakistan..!"

"This was the important point I made... and these guys...! Changed it to "'I would have been better off born in Pakistan I'd have work come my way.. " What do I say. PATHETIC," Sonu concluded.
