Sonu Nigam's recent concert at Delhi Technological University's (DTU) Engifest 2025 has been garnering attention on social media.

The video is going viral with fans of the singer calling him a ‘pookie’.

What made the internet call Sonu Nigam a pookie?

In a true Bollywood fashion, the singer leaped to grab it on stage, but what he did next left the attendees and social media users gushing over him.
