The comments section was flooded with remarks about their appearance. “Can’t tell if you guys are singers, heroes or bodybuilders. Happy birthday Sonu ji,” one fan wrote. “Singers or body builders?” asked another. A third fan called them ‘the duo that made our growing up years so soulful’.

Both Sonu Nigam and Shaan have been going through a career transition of sorts. Shaan in a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama said, “I went from two recordings a week, to two a month, to two a year, and that’s when I decided I’m going to take things into my own hands, and I started a music label, and I put original songs on YouTube.” He noted that younger stars want fresh-faced singers to perform for them in films.

But will I really enjoy doing things that I don’t want to do on reality shows?” he told Indian Express
