Sunidhi Chauhan
Singer Sunidhi Chauhan turned emotional during her recent concert in Lucknow after struggling with a severe throat issue while performing. In videos circulating online, the singer was seen apologising to the audience as her voice faltered. Despite the discomfort, Sunidhi chose to continue the show, thanking fans for their love and support.
In several videos circulating online, Sunidhi breaks down while addressing the crowd on stage. The 42-year-old singer was heard saying, "I have a terrible throat; aaj mera aavaj bohot zyada kharab hai. But I know you are with me, and I want to still do this. Oh my God, this has never happened with me ever, and it's embarrassing. I am so sorry. It's just that, mujhe thoda... I always want to give 100%."
Sunidhi added, "But unfortunately, I am trying, and maybe it won't be that, so please already forgive me. I am just going to move on. Thank you so much for your love." Despite the discomfort, Chauhan chose to continue the show.
The Lucknow show is part of Chauhan's ongoing nationwide tour, which began in Mumbai on December 24, 2025. Her next performance is scheduled in Kolkata on March 14 at Aquatica Ground, which will mark the final stop of the tour.
The singer also enthralled the audience in Delhi with her electrifying performance. One of the main highlights of the evening was a surprise on-stage appearance by actor Sanya Malhotra, who hails from Delhi, just like Sunidhi. The Delhi girls wowed everyone with their dance on their hit song 'Aankh', which was released last year. After shaking a leg with Sunidhi, Sanya thanked her for making her a part of the show.
Before this, Sunidhi amazed Mumbaikars with her concert. It turned out to be truly memorable when she invited veteran singer Alisha Chinai on stage. She delighted the crowd with her iconic tracks, including 'Tinka Tinka' and 'Aaj Ki Raat'.
Spotted in the crowd were a multitude of celebrities, including Imtiaz Ali, Zakir Khan, Sunil Grover, Wamiqa Gabbi, Nushrratt Bharuccha, Shriya Saran, Awez Darbar, Nagma Mirajkar, Ashnoor Kaur, Mithila Palkar, Nitanshi Goel, and many others.
