From the archive record

Sonu Niigam on Diwali: "There are many memories of Diwali. White coloured khilonas used to be made, and they ewre made of sugar. Elephants, tigers and other animals. We liked the idea of eating toys. (He seems to be referring to batasha). Our neighbours spent thousands of Rupees of fire crackers and we spent Rs. 30-40 and then in 2000, I spent a lot of money and bought a lot of fire crackers. I love Indian sweets like rasgulla and gulab jamun."
