What started as a magical evening at Delhi Technological University’s (DTU) Engifest 2025 took a chaotic turn on Sunday when singer Sonu Nigam had to stop his performance midway.
A segment of the massive crowd—over one lakh students, began pelting stones and bottles at the stage, putting his team at risk.
Speaking to the unruly crowd at the Rohini campus, Sonu Nigam urged, “Main aapke liye aaya hun yahan pe so that we can all have a good time. I’m not asking you not to enjoy it, but please aisa na kariye.” He emphasized that his team members were getting hurt amid the chaos.
Geetika, a student from Daulat Ram College, voiced her disappointment, saying, “It was disgraceful that a few unruly students forced a legend like him to stop and request the audience to behave.”
Praising Sonu Nigam’s composure, Abhishek Ratra from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University added, “Even in that moment, he stayed humble and calm. Not once did he lose his temper.” Despite the chaos, the 51-year-old singer resumed his performance once order was restored.
