Sonu Nigam dismisses reports of stones and bottles hurled at him during the concert.
The playback singer revealed that no stones or bottles were thrown at him during his performance on stage, but he had to pause his performance mid-way. Revealing the reason, Sonu Nigam said that he paused his performance to ensure the crowd’s safety as a vape was thrown on the stage. He took to Instagram and shared a picture of himself wearing a bunny headband and singing during the fest. He wrote, “Nothing like hurling of stones or bottles as mentioned in some media happened at DTU. There was one vape thrown by someone on stage that hit Subhankar’s chest, and that’s when I was informed about it.”
“I paused the show.”
The singer added, “I paused the show and requested and reminded the collegians that the show would have to be abruptly stopped if something like that happened again. The only thing hurled on stage after that was the Pookie band. Which was really Pookie…”
Fans react to Sonu Nigam’s clarification.
One fan wrote, “Also, thank you for clarifying in the caption!! Sad to see people throwing things onto the stage. Hope Subhankar Ji is also fine…” Another wrote, “Thank you for clarifying in the caption, Mr. Pookie Nigam.” Another comment read, “Thank you for this… Was worried.”
