“Khade Hona Hai Toh Election Mein Khade Ho Jaao”: Sonu Nigam Gets Frustrated with Crowd at Kolkata Concert
"Khade Hona Hai Toh Election Mein Khade Ho Jaao": Sonu Nigam Gets Frustrated with Crowd at Kolkata Concert.
Sonu Nigam recently performed in Kolkata, but instead of gaining attention for his music, he’s trending for a different reason. He became frustrated with the audience as they kept standing, disrupting his performance.
A video from the concert went viral, showing Sonu Nigam visibly upset and shouting at the crowd to sit down. At one point, he said, “Agar aapko khade hona hai toh election mein khade ho jaao yaar.” He expressed his annoyance further by stating, “Please bithao peechhe. Jaldi karo. Mera utna time jaa raha hai mera, maalum hai? Mere gaane cut karne padenge mujhe. Apka cut-off time aa jayega phir, baithao! Jaldi baitho! Baitho! Bahar niklo! Make this space empty.” (If you want to stand, then go stand in the election, my friend.” He expressed his annoyance further by stating, “Please sit down at the back. Hurry up. My time is getting wasted, do you know that? I will have to cut my songs. Your cut-off time will come then, so sit down! Sit down quickly! Sit down! Get out! Make this space empty.)
The video garnered a range of responses on Instagram. One user remarked, “Sonu Ji rocked.”
Another user commented, “He did the right thing.” Another user mentioned, “Jitne bhi crowd ke paas standing bronze aur silver tickets the, sab achanak se rush karke platinum zone mein baithe.”
A third user expressed disappointment, stating, “This is so sad; he had to manage the crowd himself. Bad management by BookMyShow… how can you expect an artist to control such a large crowd? Still, he sounds great even while scolding, lol. I hope these issues didn’t take up too much of your time.”
One user even praised him by saying, “ye daat te bhi sur me hai.” The rest of the commenters shared their experiences, expressing that they attended the show and found the poor management quite disappointing.
A few days ago, Sonu Nigam shared that he was in “excruciating pain.” He wrote in his Instagram post, “Laga tha jaese ek needle mere spine mein laga rakhi hai. Itna sa yaha waha ho aur needle spine mein ghus jayegi (I felt as if a needle was pricking my spine. I would move a little and the needle would enter my spine). It was like that. Really bad.”
Sonu Nigam is famous for songs like Satrangi re, Deewana, Main Agar Kahoon, Tumse Milke Dil Ka.
