Singer Sonu Nigam humiliated!
Singer Sonu Nigam was humiliated by organizers after
he performed at a college in Uttar Pradesh`s Moradabad city Saturday night. The
college owner humiliated him and did not let him to catch the flight even after
repeated request after he finished the concert.
"I was not supposed to go for the show as my mom was in a critical
condition and despite that I went and performed for three hours as I had given
a commitment but I was completely zapped with the behavior of Manish Jain who
is the college owner," the singer told reporters here Monday.
"After the concert I had to leave for Delhi to catch the 4 a.m. flight and he
(Jain) was just not letting us go as he was getting his friends and family to
click the pictures with me.
"I patiently clicked the pictures and when I said my mom is unwell and I
had to leave, he started saying he had spent Rs.50 lakh for the show and would
not let him (Nigam) leave till he clicked pictures with everyone," he
added.
Jain is the group vice chairman of Teerthanker
Mahaveer University.
Highly upset, Nigam, said that he patiently continued to click pictures with
everyone till 1.25 a.m. He said people from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar
need to change their mind set and this is one of the reasons why artistes avoid
performing in these states.
"Police there were helpless and I could see `sorry` in the eyes of
policemen. I am from UP myself and I don`t have anything against anybody but
mindset of people over there needs to be changed. Why do you think there are no
shows happening in Bihar," he said.
Despite this entire incident, Nigam says he is no mood to lodge a complaint against them.
"I did not overreact that time but had things gone worse there, then I would have gone ahead. The idea is that I want people to know how artistes are treated at times. My intention is that artistes should be respected because we are here to entertain you," said the 39-year-old.
