On Monday, Sonu Nigam lashed out at 'forced religiousness' in India after being woken up by the 'azaan' from a nearby mosque, triggering a torrent of reaction for and against.
The 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' singer posted, "God bless everyone. I'm not a Muslim and I have to be woken up by the azaan in the morning. When will this forced religiousness end in India? (sic)"
