Day 2 at the Qutub Festival 2011 witnessed the Bollywood stalwart Sonu Nigam in concert at the iconic backdrop of Qutub Minar.
Post announcement his voice reverberated before he appeared from behind the smoke screen. And the 6000-capacity Qutub complex in Mehrauli, which was bursting at the seams, went into a frenzy to see their star perform. Clad in Indo-western attire, black from top to toe the singer subtly merged with his surroundings.
Delhi CM Sheila Dixit graced the event and Nigam acknowledged her presence by saying "I met Sheila Dixit ji for the first time in 2005 in Australia during Commonwealth Games."
The first song he sang was the killer from SRK-Preity-Saif starrer Kal Ho Na Ho.
His voice boomed "Namaste Delhi, feels good to be back home, to play for the home crowd." And the excitement was all too palpable. Nigam's fans were dancing, jiving, clicking away with their cell phones and reacting to each syllable their demi-god uttered.
Next came a popular track from Saif-Kareena starrer Kurbaan.
In the middle of his gig Nigam paid a tribute to music legend Bhupen Hazarika, who passed away on November 5, saying "this is not Hazarikia ji's song but I'm dedicating this to him."
