Sonu Nigam explains why he cried on stage

In a video shared on Instagram, Sonu Nigam can be heard saying, "Today, I had a show in Bengaluru. After performing, I was so emotionally, physically, and mentally drained that I slept for a long time. After today's show, I realized that sometimes, even if the notes are not perfect, a certain energy is created, and the atmosphere becomes such that people embrace it, connect with it, and even get emotional. I hadn’t decided to sing that song. I hadn’t even rehearsed it. I thought, after performing energetic songs like 'Bijuriya,' where there’s so much dancing and shouting, would I even be able to sing it? But then, I just sang it. If I had started crying while singing and couldn't complete the song, people might have thought I deliberately didn’t sing it properly."

He added that he would sing Mere Dholna Sun better next time around without crying. Sonu also shared that he would cry on stage for 3-4 years after losing his mother. She passed away 12 years ago.
