Hindustan Times
Singer Sonu Nigam recently revealed that he has been dealing with a painful nerve-related health condition, prompting him to seek extensive medical care over the last week. The singer shared that he underwent a series of MRI and CT scans and has been taking mu
ltiple medications as part of his treatment.
"My nerves are pinched. I have been taking MRI and CT scans for a week. I have been taking a lot of medicines," Sonu says while showing a patch on his shoulder.
The singer revealed that the condition has kept him under constant medical supervision, with his treatment involving multiple scans, medications, and regular physiotherapy sessions.
Sharing details of his treatment, Sonu said that physiotherapy has been particularly challenging. "Physiotherapy was very painful. I am taking painkillers now. Due to that, my throat is also a little heavy," he said.
The singer shared that the muscle-relaxant medications prescribed as part of his treatment have also impacted his throat, something that can be especially concerning for a vocalist preparing for a live performance.
Despite the discomfort, the singer decided to go ahead with his scheduled performance in Mumbai. The video was posted with a caption that read, “13th June, Mumbai ❤️🩹”.
He is scheduled to perform in Mumbai later this month. The singer explained that he would be performing after a long time and was determined to take the stage regardless of the challenges.
Sonu’s first break came from Gulshan Kumarji when he was 19, following which he did Sa Re Ga Ma in 1995. After making his foray with stage shows in early 1990s, he marked his debut as a playback singer in Hindi films with the song O Aasman Wale Zameen Par Utar Ke Dekh (Aaja Meri Jaan; 1993).
He has sung over 5000 songs in various languages, winning one National Award for the title track of Kal Ho Na Ho (2003). Over the years, Sonu has delivered some of Hindi cinema's memorable songs: Yeh Dil Deewana (Pardes, 1997), Suraj Hua Maddham (Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham, 2001), Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003), and others. Even today, his older tracks often resurface on social media, finding new listeners. In recent times, Sonu has been busy touring India for his music shows.
