ASHAJI, who helped Sonu Nigam imprint his popularity in America by taking him on concerts seven years ago, ought to be complimented for planning this concert with Sami.

"Asha can make any show a hit on her own," said Poojanka Entertainment's Bharat Jotwani, the concert's organiser.

The Trenton show came within a month of his solidly successful A R Rahman show at the Nassau Coliseum. "She makes her shows even grander by bringing great old and new talents with her."
