The Story in Brief
Sonu Nigam shared a video on Sunday of himself singing Mohammed Rafi’s 'Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki' while lying on an operating table. The singer, 53, told Hindustan Times the surgery was for a recurring growth on his left ring finger, possibly linked to arthritis. Nigam said he sang organically when an instrumental track from his album 'Rafi Resurrected' played. He performed two to three songs at the request of Dr Nilesh Satbhai and his team, who recorded the moment. Fans flooded social media with prayers for his recovery.
The Indian Opinion
Some fans are spinning this into a fairy tale of music conquering all pain, but Nigam was under local anaesthesia for a minor procedure on his finger, not open surgery. Others cynically call it a publicity stunt, yet the video emerged only because doctors asked to record it. The real measure will come with time: whether the growth re-occurs and forces a more serious procedure.
