Sonu Nigam Expresses Disappointment Over IIFA Awards Snub
The Indian film industry’s prestigious award ceremony, IIFA Awards, has once again been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. This time, it’s none other than legendary singer Sonu Nigam who has expressed his disappointment and frustration over being overlooked at the recently held IIFA Awards in Jaipur. The singer, who was not even nominated for any category, took to social media to vent his feelings, and it seems that his disappointment is linked to a previous incident involving the Rajasthan Chief Minister.

In a series of tweets, Sonu Nigam thanked IIFA for their “indifference” and wrote, “And you know why? After all you were answerable to Rajasthan bureaucracy.” It seems that his disappointment is linked to an incident that took place in December when he was performing at a show in Jaipur. The Rajasthan Chief Minister, Ashok Gehlot, walked out of the show midway, reportedly due to some “unforeseen circumstances”. Sonu Nigam had taken to social media to express his disappointment and frustration over the incident, calling out the Chief Minister for his rude behavior.
The incident had sparked a heated debate on social media, with many fans and fellow artists coming out in support of Sonu Nigam. It seems that the snub at the IIFA Awards has reignited the controversy, with many fans and industry insiders questioning the credibility of the award ceremony.
