10 Bollywood Celebrities Who Refused An Award For Lame Reasons

3. Sonu Nigam

He is known for his wonderful voice. His singing abilities are a wonder because he can sing in many scales and hit every note. He is a playback singer, live performer, actor, composer and also an amazing host. He is a recipient of one national award, two Filmfare awards in Hindi and two Filmfare awards in the South.

In 1997, Sonu refused to take the award at the Filmfare as the best song for the song Sandese Aate Hai. The reason why he rejected the award was that the song was sung by both Sonu Nigam and Roop Kumar Rathore and therefore both of them deserved the same honor.
