- Singer Sonu Nigam encountered unruly behavior at Delhi Technological University’s Engifest 2025.
- Stones and bottles were thrown at the stage, injuring some members of his team.
- Nigam remained calm and urged the audience to maintain discipline, while some students condemned the act.
Why Did the Concert Turn Chaotic?
What was supposed to be a night of music and celebration took an unexpected turn when some attendees at DTU’s Engifest resorted to pelting stones and bottles toward the stage. With over one lakh attendees, crowd control became a major issue, leading to injuries among Nigam’s team members. Despite the chaos, the singer maintained his composure, urging the crowd, “Please aisa na kariye.”
Mixed Reactions From the Audience
While a few miscreants caused disruptions, many students expressed disappointment, calling the act “shameful.” One Delhi University student remarked how unfortunate it was that an artist of Sonu Nigam’s stature had to pause his performance and plead for order.
Amid the unrest, a lighter moment emerged when a fan tossed a pink hairband onto the stage. Nigam playfully wore it, telling the crowd, “I will take this home.” The audience responded with cheers, calling him “Pookie,” adding a touch of warmth to an otherwise tense evening.
The incident highlights the need for better crowd management at large-scale events, ensuring that artists can perform without fear of harm. Will stricter security measures be implemented at future university fests? Time will tell.
