In February, Sonu Nigam's Kolkata concert also hit the headlines as he got angry at the unruly audience. A video from the venue went viral in which Sonu Nigam was seen shouting at the crowd. He can be heard making repeated requests to the crowd. At one point, a visibly annoyed Sonu Nigam can be heard saying, "Agar aapko khade hona hai toh election mein khade ho jaao yaar (If you want to stand, stand in election)."
Sonu Nigam recently took a jibe at the IIFA committee for not getting a nomination at this year's awards.
