Indian playback legend Kumar Sanu opens up about his massive Pakistani fandom on a recent podcast, promising to keep singing for them.
Kumar Sanu, the legendary Indian playback singer who ruled Bollywood music throughout the 1990s, recently sat down with journalist Subhankar Mishra for a candid podcast conversation. The “Melody King” opened up about his enduring connection with Pakistani fans, acknowledging the overwhelming love and messages he continues to receive from across the border.

Timeless hits like “Tujhe Dekha To” and “Jab Koi Baat Bigad Jaaye” continue to resonate with listeners across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal, cementing his status as a regional icon.
When Mishra asked him about the flood of messages from Pakistani fans, Kumar Sanu responded with warmth and sincerity. “I know that I have many fans in Pakistan. They have given us so much love; it’s unconditional and constant. We are aware of their love and appreciation for us,” he said. His message to them was direct and heartfelt: “My message to them is that I will keep singing for you all. I thank you, and I will continue to sing. I’m here and not going anywhere.”
The comments section under the podcast clip lit up with Pakistani fans expressing prayers and nostalgia for the artist whose songs soundtracked their childhoods. This cross-border adoration highlights how music transcends political boundaries, with Kumar Sanu serving as a cultural bridge between the two nations.
