"Election Mein Khade Ho Jaao!": Sonu Nigam Scolds Kolkata Crowd-Watch
February 10, 2025: Singer Sonu Nigam enthralled his fans during a concert in Kolkata on February 10, but an incident with the audience left the celebrated artist visibly upset. As some members of the crowd stood up during his performance, disrupting the flow of the event, Sonu took charge, urging them to sit down with sharp remarks.
In a video shared by a fan, Sonu is seen addressing the audience directly from the stage. He remarked, “Agar tumko khada hona hi hain, election mein khade ho jaao yaar! Please baithao. Jaldi karo… itna time jaa raha hai mera maalum hain? Apka cut-off time aa jayega phir. Baithao! Jaldi baitho! Baitho! Bahar niklo! Make this space empty!”

Fans defended Sonu Nigam in the comments, expressing disappointment over the event’s poor management. One user commented, “It’s shameful that Sonu Sir had to manage the crowd himself due to such bad organization.” Another added, “He had to do it himself because he knows what happened to KK. Artists are being forced to prioritize their own safety.”
