Sonu Nigam, celebrated for hits like 'Kal Ho Na Ho,' is currently on his high-octane 'Satrangi Re India Tour.' He revealed the intense physical demands of performing three-hour live sets and his recovery from a severe back sprain earlier this year. Nigam likens his job to being both musical and athletic, requiring a rigorous fitness schedule to manage his health and vocal capabilities.
His pre-concert routine is meticulous, beginning the moment he wakes up. This includes avoiding public interaction, practicing on the tanpura, and an hour at the gym. Nigam ensures his voice and body are prepared for non-stop performances, demonstrating a dedication that extends far beyond his on-stage persona.
A unique team ritual involves holding hands with his entire crew to thank God and the audience before stepping on stage, a moment he describes as a significant circle of connection. This tour began with a tribute in Guwahati, celebrating the region's musical heritage.
