In a video, Sonu Nigam shared his emotional experience from his Bengaluru concert, saying, “Today, I had a show in Bengaluru. After performing, I was so emotionally, physically, and mentally drained that I woke up with a jolt. Today, after performing in Bengaluru, I realized that sometimes, even if a person doesn’t sing perfectly, or doesn’t sing well, there is such an energy that builds up, and such an atmosphere is created that people connect to it, and they end up crying. It was the first time I sang ‘Mere Dholna’ on stage. I hadn’t planned to sing it; I hadn’t even rehearsed it. But when the atmosphere became so emotional, I was almost in tears.”

He mentioned that after performing ‘Bijuria’, he debated whether to take the risk of singing ‘Mere Dholna’. However, once he started, he became emotional.

Sonu Nigam shared, “Itna roya hoon main stage par main. Mera bas chalta toh main rok deta, lekin agar main gaana rokta toh log sochte ki humein chidaa ke gaana nahin gaya.” He added that he often gets emotional while listening to ‘Abhi Mujhme Kahi’ from Agneepath’ and ‘Mere Dholna’ from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, so it was natural for him to get overwhelmed while performing ‘Mere Dholna’ for the first time.

Sonu Nigam shared, “I used to cry like this when my mother passed away on February 28, 2013. In four days, it will be 12 years. For three to four years, every time I sang ‘Kya Hua Tera Waada’ on stage, I would break down uncontrollably. Over the years, the pain has lessened a bit.”

Meanwhile, videos of his emotional yet captivating performance of ‘Mere Dholna’ have gone viral on social media. The footage shows him in tears after the song, folding his hands and addressing the audience as they cheered for him.
