Mumbai: Earlier this week, Sonu Nigam was admitted to Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai for a severe allergy he got after eating seafood.
According to reports, Sonu was in Odisha Tuesday for a concert where he ate too much sea food because of which he got an allergy.
Sonu, through his Instagram handle shared two pictures. While one was a selfie showing that his eye was swollen shut, the other showed him lying on a hospital bed wearing an oxygen mask.
He thanked his fans for showing care and wrote in his post, “Thanks for your concern and love. Now that you know that I am returning back from Jeypore Orissa after managing a concert last night, I don’t mind sharing how I was the day before yesterday.”
He further writes, “Lesson for all of us, Never ever ever ever take a chance with allergies, seafood in my case. If Nanavati Hospital wasn’t nearby, my trachea would have swollen up further leading to asphyxiation (suffocation, especially due to lack of oxygen availability). He wished a happy and healthy life to everyone.”
The singer-actor-performer is very well known for not mincing his words. Months’ ago he was in headlines when he called for ban of loudspeakers used at religious places. The controversy that erupted from it, led him to quit Twitter.
