He shared a photo of himself donning the Pookie band and wrote a detailed caption regarding the event.
In his message, he stated, 'There was no hurling of stones or bottles as reported in some media outlets at DTU. A vape was thrown onto the stage, hitting Subhankar's chest, which prompted me to pause and remind the audience that the show would end abruptly if such behavior continued.'
'The only other item thrown on stage after that was the Pookie band, which was indeed very Pookie', he added.
Previously, media reports suggested that the concert, part of a university festival attended by over 100,000 people, had turned chaotic due to stone pelting from the crowd.
Moreover, Sonu Nigam had expressed his dissatisfaction with the organizers of the recently held IIFA awards. He took to Instagram to share a screenshot of the nominees for the Best Playback Singer category, highlighting the absence of his name for his hit song 'Mere Dholna 3.0' from the film. The song, which gained immense popularity on Instagram, explores the emotions of a ghost wronged by his family.
Using lines from the song, he remarked, 'Bhola bhaala tha, seedha sada tha, main toh naadan tha', indicating his naivety in believing that artistic merit alone leads to recognition and accolades.
