According to reports, the singer earlier informed that in the wake of a technical snag the show had to be delayed. "Due to sudden surge of 15 lakh logins in our platform, we are facing a minor technical breakdown. So sorry, I'm not able to interact with you here today. Always proud of the outpouring love from my fans. Total 2 crore people witnessed this initiative. Login servers are now up & running. Keep rocking & Happy Republic Day!!," he wrote in the caption.
