Kumar Sanu’s daughter Shannon opens up about facing racism in foreign land

Veteran singer Kumar Sanu’s daughter Shannon has been adding laurels to her name abroad. In the year 2018, she recorded her first song, 'A Long Time.' Since then, Shannon has been in the limelight, but her journey wasn’t that smooth. Shannon, who had moved to the States with her mother Saloni Kumar, Sanu’s first wife, when she was very young, recently opened up on her journey and confessed that she got subjected to racism in the western countries. In a conversation with a news portal, Shannon, while speaking in length about how she got bullied and battled racism on foreign land, said, ‘I face a lot of mental stress in real life, I have been bullied a lot in my childhood. We often face racism in western countries.' While recalling those old tough days, she further added, 'I remember I was made to feel like a lesser being when I went for auditions because I was different from most of the people around. I was too young to handle it all well. I would come back home crying, and my confidence was often shattered due to these incidences. I had to prove myself, not just as an artist, but also as a human being’. She further added, ‘I have now learned to deal with it. I wish to make a song about it someday and help promote the Indian culture in all corners of the world.’ Notably, Shannon, who considers her father Kumar Sanu as her guru, was adopted by the veteran singer in the year 2001. Previously, in an interview, Kumar Sanu heaped praises on his daughter and said, 'She is very hardworking and has already achieved so much in her life. A lot of people in Hollywood know me because of her and that is a matter of pride of our family.’ Back in 2018, Shannon grabbed the attention when she collaborated with Sonu Nigam for a song titled 'OMT.'
