Sonu Nigam sings at Ramlila Maidan for Hazare

Singer Sonu Nigam expressed his support for Anna Hazare and his fight against corruption by singing the hymn "Vaishnav jan to" at the Ramlila Maidan on Saturday. He says meeting the social activist was an exhilarating experience for him.

Dressed casually in a white shirt and a pair of blue jeans, Sonu touched Hazare's cheeks and also took the 74-year-old's blessings by touching his feet.

He posted on micro-blogging site Twitter after meeting Hazare: "It was like meeting a true child saint. Touched his cheeks just instinctively. He said 'Mujhey Oorja mila hai aapkey aaney aur gaaney se (Your presence and singing has given me energy)'.

"Told him so many have told me 2 touch u, thank u... and sent their strength to u. He smiled like an innocent child. He's a rare man, whom u wanna respect, love, follow, care for and pull his Cheeks too. How many of such kinds we have around? God bless him (sic)."

Though Sonu sang a few songs, he didn't express his views on the Lokpal bill.
