Despite his towering success, Sonu Nigam recently shared a personal challenge with his fans. Just a day before his performance, he revealed in an Instagram video that he had suffered a painful back spasm during a live performance. The excruciating pain was so intense that he likened it to a needle piercing his spine, making movement difficult.
Despite the discomfort, he powered through his performances, expressing gratitude by captioning the post, “Sarasvati ji did hold my hand last night,” as a tribute to divine support during his struggle.
