Nigam’s Clarification: Vape, Not Stones
According to Nigam, while the performance did face a brief interruption, no stones or bottles were thrown as previously claimed by some media outlets.
“There was one vape thrown by someone on stage that hit Subhankar’s chest,” Nigam shared.
“That’s when I was informed about it. I paused the show and requested, reminding the collegians that the show would have to be abruptly stopped if something like that happened again.”
A Light-Hearted Twist: The Pookie Band
Following the vape incident, Nigam revealed the only other item hurled onto the stage was a “Pookie band”—a playful accessory that he sportingly wore for the remainder of the show.
“The only thing hurled on stage after that was the Pookie band, which was really Pookie…” he joked.
Nigam’s calm and composed handling of the situation ensured that the show continued without further interruptions, winning appreciation from fans online.
