Sonu Nigam starts Divali festivities

The concert by Sonu Nigam was greatly awaited. It definitely came up to the expectations of the 20,000 people who attended the Anjalay stadium in Belle-Vue to see the singer perform. This concert was organised by the ministry of Arts and Culture on the occasion of Divali. The singer succeeded in keeping his public attentive and full of excitement during the three-hour concert. Even the power cut, which occurred in the middle of the concert, did not upset either Sonu Nigam or the public. The latter waited very patiently for the electricity to come back and when Sonu Nigam started to sing again, the excitement of the crowd was even greater.
