Sonu Nigam, who is currently traveling throughout the country with his concert tourrecently turned a haunting moment in his Hubbali show into one marked by warmth, presence of mind and music-driven compassion. During the concert, a little boy got lost in the crowd and it was Sonu himself who stepped in to help reunite the boy with his family. The singer later shared a clip from the concert on his Instagram showing him holding the boy’s hand on stage. Through songs and fun conversations, Sonu not only calmed the visibly anxious boy but also worked with the crowd to locate his guardians.
The video captures Sonu standing next to the young man, identified as Sri Sai, who had been separated from his family in the middle of a crowd of nearly 30,000 people. Sensing the boy’s nervousness, Sonu chose music as his first response. As they walked together to the front of the stage, the singer broke into an improvised melody, shouting: “Sri Sai aa jao, mama papa isko le jao, iske mama papa kho gaye, jaldi aake isko le jao” (Sri Sai, come here, mom and dad, please take him. His parents are lost, come quickly and take him.)
The exchange took a humorous turn when the boy revealed that he had not come with his parents. Sonu responded with mock confusion and asked: “Dad mom nahi toh kaun aaya hai? Agar dad mom nahi aaye toh hum kisko dhoond rahe hai?” (If it’s not your mother and father, who came with you? If they’re not here, who are we looking for?) When Sri Sai replied, “Chachu” (uncle), Sonu instantly picked up the signal, repeated the word theatrically into the microphone and shouted: “Chachu, kidhar hai chachu? Hey chachu, chhod ke chale gaye chachi ke saath?” (Dude, where are you? Hey uncle, did you leave him and go to Auntie?). He continued with another happy comment: “Bade bhai ne zimmedari di tumhe bachche ki aur tum yeh kar rahe ho?” (Your older brother entrusted you with his son, and this is what you are doing?).
Shortly after, the concert production team managed to locate the boy’s uncle. Sonu ensured that the relationship was verified before allowing Sri Sai to leave the stage. Sharing the clip online, the singer wrote in the caption: “A scared and nervous Sri Sai after getting lost in the crowd of 30,000 people in Hubbali last night. Guess he wasn’t that scared and lost after he found me.”
