The Indian playback vocalist was born on October 20, 1979. She is a lyricist and TV personality as well. Sonu got the fame from the song Babu ji zara dheere chalo.
Early Life
Tony Kakkar's sister was born in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, into a monetarily challenged family. Her father sold samosas outside her school to bolster the family. From a youthful age, Sonu showcased her melodic ability by singing bhajans at jagrans, which, not as it were, reflected her commitment but, moreover, made a difference in her gaining cash to back her family. She afterward moved to Delhi with her family, some time recently settling in Mumbai to seek after a career in music.
Career
Sonu's huge break came when music executive Sandeep Chowta took note of her ability amid a singing challenge. Over a long time, she has lent her voice to various melodies over diverse dialects and classes. A few of her eminent tracks incorporate "Mudduletti" (Super), "Rangoli Rangoli" (Baadshah), "London Thumakda" (Queen), and "Foreign Balamwa" (Margarita With A Straw).
Personal Life
Sonu is the elder sister of eminent vocalists Neha Kakkar and Tony Kakkar. The trio has collaborated on different melodic ventures and was known for their close-knit relationship.
2025 Family Rift
In April 2025, Sonu Kakkar made headlines by reporting on social media that she was separating ties with her siblings, Neha and Tony Kakkar. In a now-deleted post, she communicated, "Deeply devastated to inform you all that I am no longer a SISTER to the two talented superstars, Tony Kakkar and Neha Kakkar. This decision of mine comes from a place of deep emotional pain, and I am truly disheartened today." The declaration stunned fans and drove far-reaching hypotheses around the reasons behind the crack. As of present, neither Neha nor Tony has freely commented on the matter.
