Renowned playback singer Sonu Nigam, known for his versatility and soulful renditions, recently experienced an overwhelming moment during his live performance in Bengaluru. As he sang the iconic track Mere Dholna from 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3', the singer unexpectedly broke down on stage, overcome with emotion. Later, in an Instagram video, he reflected on the experience, admitting that he hadn’t anticipated such an emotional outburst.
Sonu Nigam on what happened
Sharing his thoughts in the video, Sonu recounted how the atmosphere during the performance deeply resonated with him, leading to his tearful reaction. He said, “Kuch aisa mahaul banta hain ki log bhi usse connect ho jaate hain. Aj pehli baar gaya Mere Dholna stage par aur jaise mahaul bana, it was so emotional… rona aa raha tha! Lekin socha ki le leta hu chance. Aur gaa hi nahi pa raha tha. Itna roya hu stage par kabhi… mera chalta toh main gaana rok deta lekin aisa karta toh log sochte ki hume chhirah ke nahi gaaya(The atmosphere was such that the audience connected with it too. I sang Mere Dholna on stage for the first time, and the emotions were overwhelming—I couldn’t hold back my tears. I took a chance, but I wasn’t even able to sing properly. I have never cried so much on stage before. I could have stopped the song, but I didn’t want the audience to feel that I had left it incomplete.)"

Sonu Nigam seeks an apology
Sonu further shared that he hopes to perform the song without breaking down in the future. He recalled how, after losing his mother in 2013, he frequently found himself struggling with emotions during live performances. “Aisa main rota tha jab mummy ka dehaant hua tha 2013 mein, 28th February ko. Abhi 12 saal ho jayenge 4 din mein. Tab 3-4 saal jab main ‘Kya Hua Tera Waada’ stage par gaata tha aur main phoot-phoot ke rota tha. Ab thoda kam hua hai itne saalon ke baad. (I used to cry like this when my mom passed away in 2013, on February 28th. It’ll be 12 years in 4 days. For 3-4 years, when I used to sing “Kya Hua Tera Waada” on stage, I would cry uncontrollably. Over the years, it has become a bit less),” he said.

“Thank you for the love, please forgive my mistakes. Insaan hu, hyper-emotional ho jata hu kabhi kabhi,” he said, acknowledging his emotional nature. (I am human, and sometimes, I become hyper-emotional.)
Mere Dholna 3.0, featured in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3', became a chartbuster when the film hit theatres last year. The song played a crucial role in the climax of the horror-comedy, which starred Kartik Aaryan, Madhuri Dixit, and Vidya Balan. Produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, the film was released on November 1 and received a great response from audiences.
