Back in 2002, a peppy song from the film, Dum, Babuji Zara Dheere Chalo became the party anthem and was played on every radio station and channel. Just like every party is incomplete without Babuji Zara Dheere Chalo being played and danced on, the music industry is incomplete without the mention of Sonu Kakkar, who made her debut with this song. In almost two decades of her career, Sonu had given innumerous chartbusters. Born in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, Sonu’s father used to sell samosas at schools and colleges to earn a living while their mother was a homemaker.

Sonu Kakkar’s musical journey had begun years ago when she started singing bhajans in jagratas without any professional training. Soon, Sonu’s little sister, Neha Kakkar too, joined her and the Kakkar sisters formed a team to sing at jagratas for which the entire family used to travel to nearby areas for such events and return the next day. Related by blood and music, the Kakkar sibling trio, comprising of Sonu, Tony and Neha have struggled their way from the bottom to fame and success. And it’s been an inspirational journey!

Once in an interview with the Mumbai Mirror, Tony Kakkar had revealed when he and his elder sister, Sonu Kakkar had moved to Mumbai to try their luck in the industry, their little sister, Neha Kakkar would send them money from Rishikesh. Recalling their struggles, Tony had said, “Initially, only I and Sonu shifted to Mumbai, and Neha still used to perform in Rishikesh. The biggest task for us in Mumbai was house-hunting. We didn’t have enough money to buy a house so we used to stay in a small rented apartment. But the rent was skyrocketing and we have no fixed income as such. For the very first recording, Sonu got Rs 500. The amount then kept on increasing steadily and somehow we managed to survive. Neha also sent us money from there.” (Also Read: Neha Kakkar Flirts With Husband-To-Be, Rohanpreet As He Practices To Be A Good 'Jiju' Before Wedding)
