Unplanned Yet Powerful Performance
Sonu mentioned that he didn’t intend to sing Mere Dholna and that the emotional impact was unexpected. “I cried so much on stage. If I could, I would have stopped, but if I had done that, people would have thought I teased them by not finishing the song,” he confessed.
He also drew a parallel to the grief he experienced after his mother’s demise, revealing, “I used to cry like this when my mom passed away in 2013… especially when I sang Kya Hua Tera Waada on stage.”
In a heartfelt admission, Sonu Nigam shared that only two songs have ever made him cry – Abhi Mujhme Kahi from Agneepath and Mere Dholna from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. In his post’s caption, he also promised his fans that he would try to manage his emotions better during future performances.
Mere Dholna 3.0 is a part of the 2024 film, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan in the lead role. This version marks the third rendition of the song, which has been an iconic part of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise since its inception.
