"If kids start following a particular art form at a young age, then it helps them. Even I have been singing ever since I was 3-and-half years old. This is the best time to learn something, " the 38-year-old singer said here at the Lions Gold Award function where both he and his four-year-old son were honoured.
Sonu's son Neevan made headlines with his version of "Kolavari Di" recently.
"I have a video of his when he was eight-month-old. But he is very naughty, he also dances very well and is even good at playing cricket, " said Sonu, who is known for songs like "Kal ho na ho", "Main hoon na", "Jashn-e-bahara", "Saathiya".
He has also sung "Abhi mujh mein kahin" and "Swapnil Pawar" for new version of "Agneepath", which releases Jan 26.
