According to Indian media reports, Sonu Nigam recently went to perform in an area called Srinagar, India. It was his first show there. In a video of him from the stage, it is seen that Sonu Nigam asked the audience for two minutes before the azaan would start.
At this time, the singer can be heard saying, "Please give me two minutes. The azaan will start here right now." Then he stopped the show for two minutes. After the azaan ended, he resumed singing.
The audience at the time received his behavior positively. Meanwhile, the singer is receiving praise as the video goes viral on social media.
Sonu has previously been embroiled in controversy over the call to prayer. In 2017, he took to social media to object to the early morning call to prayer at a mosque near his home in Mumbai. At that time, there were controversies and calls for a boycott against the singer; now his decision is a reason for praise.
