This wasn’t the first time an overzealous fan or a miscreant has rushed the stage to confront a performer, but Sonu Nigam handled the situation like a pro during a recent concert.
In a video circulating on social media, he can be seen singing ‘Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte’ from Aditya Chopra’s 2008 romantic comedy, ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’.
Suddenly, a man charged onto the stage in an intimidating manner, but Sonu expertly sidestepped him. Security quickly intervened, tackling the intruder and dragging him away while visibly overpowering him. Remarkably, throughout this chaos, Sonu continued to sing without missing a beat.
The incident left the internet buzzing with admiration for Sonu's talent and composure.
One Instagram user commented in Hindi, ‘Whatever happens, one must not stop singing,’ highlighting his dedication.
Another chimed in, referencing Arijit Singh’s praise for Sonu, saying, ‘Arijit ne bilkul sai kaha thaa, Sonu Nigam ji kabhi besura gaa hi nehi sakte’ (Arijit Singh was so right—Sonu Nigam can never go off tune) with laughing emojis.
A third user expressed disbelief at how Sonu managed to keep singing perfectly while avoiding the man, calling him a legend. Someone else remarked, ‘Sonu sir kitna active hain aur sur ke kitne pakke… (Sonu is so active and so skilled that despite taking such a sharp turn and running, his notes didn't change at all)’ with a red heart emoji.
However, some viewers criticized Sonu’s security for their violent response.
One user lamented, ‘Par marna nhi chahiye tha’ (But they shouldn't have hit him), while another argued, ‘He could've asked his staff to stop hitting him… they could have just thrown him off the stage!’
