Singer Sonu Nigam recently drew attention for his vocal versatility during ‘The Revolution – Sonu Nigam Live’ tour, specifically during a performance in New York where he transitioned between male and female vocal registers.

Simultaneously, Nigam addressed misinformation regarding a viral video that appeared to show him mocking actor Salman Khan’s singing. Nigam clarified via Instagram that the clip was an edited fabrication. He explained that the footage was actually his original reaction to a performance by a young Pakistani singer, Hadiya Hashmi, in 2020, which had been falsely stitched together with Khan’s song ‘Main Hoon Hero Tera’. Nigam noted, “Can expect the unexpected on internet. I stumbled upon this edited video. This was my reaction for a Pakistani little girl singer.”
