A special day

Popular Indian playback singer Sonu Nigam showed he has the personal touch when he dropped in to give his support to a special needs charity in Dubai.

The star, who was in town to play a concert at the Madinat Arena, attended the launch of the new SNF Children Development Centre in Karama.

The centre aims to provide vocational training for young adults with special needs.

Sonu charmed parents and volunteers before playing, laughing and accompanying the children in a singalong.

Before he left, he also found the time to serenade with a few bars of his velvet smooth voice.
