'My nerves are pinched'
Speaking about his condition, Sonu said: “My nerves are pinched. I have been taking MRI and CT scans for a week. I have been taking a lot of medicines.”
He added that physiotherapy sessions have been particularly painful, and he is currently relying on painkillers to manage discomfort.
“Physiotherapy was very painful. I am taking painkillers now. Due to that, my throat is also a little heavy,” he said.
Medication impacts throat
The singer explained that medication prescribed to relax his muscles has also affected his voice — a concern ahead of a live show.
He said the physical strain, combined with a heavy throat, has impacted his confidence, though he remains committed to performing.
Stage return despite ongoing pain
Despite the setback, the singer confirmed he will go ahead with his upcoming performance, noting it comes after a long gap.
“And today I am performing… my confidence is a little low. And on top of that, my throat is a little heavy,” he shared.
Fans send support and recovery wishes
Following the video, fans flooded social media with messages of encouragement, praising his dedication and wishing him a speedy recovery.
Many also highlighted his commitment to performing despite ongoing treatment and physical discomfort.
