Fans who were at the concert also reacted to the incident. One user wrote in the comments,” Yes I was there and 2 times he had to stop the show due to management issues and Sir’s greatness to respect equally who were standing at the back and connect with everyone.”
“I was there. He was not angry, he was doing this because of his commitment to his audience. These people were blocking the view of the sitting audience and the Kolkata Police was so callous that they were standing and watching. The show started extremely late, what I came to know, because of generator failure so this was bound to happen. The management was so poor that they made him frustrated,” added another.
One user commented, “It was so disgusting that due to poor management by organizers, Sonu Sir had to intervene himself. So shameful.”
