Renowned singer Sonu Nigam pushed through immense physical pain to perform at his Pune concert, calling it "one of the most difficult days" of his life. In a video shared on Instagram, the singer documented his struggle with severe back pain while preparing for the show.
The video shows the singer twisting and squirming in discomfort as his team members assisted him backstage ahead of the LIVE concert. Despite the excruciating pain, he took the stage and completed the performance.
Opening up about the challenging moment, Sonu said in the video, "While singing, we sometimes make sudden movements, and that can trigger a spasm. But I managed somehow. I never want to do less or give less when people expect so much from me."
He compared the agony to a needle piercing his spine with even the slightest movement. "It felt like a needle was stuck in my spine. If I moved even a little, it would dig deeper. It was really bad," he said. However, the singer remained grateful that he could successfully deliver the concert. "Sarasvati ji did hold my hand last night," he captioned the video.
Soon after he shared the video, fans flooded the comments section with support for the singer and also sent wishes for his speedy recovery.
Anupamaa actor Sudhanshu Pandey wrote, "Bhai please take care." Veteran singer Sudesh Bhosle commented, "Those who have true love and blessings of #महादेवजी 🔱 know how to fall and rise again ❤️ blessings to you dear."
A fan commented, "Seeing you in so much pain makes me cry sir 😔🥺 I know you had a hard time doing the concert yesterday.. Take some rest sir 🥺 & take care of yourself... Get well soon sir 🧿 Mata rani bless you always 🌺✨ @sonunigamofficial bahut saraaaaa pyaar."
