Singer Sonu Nigam might be singing Aal Izz Well in reel life, but all is not well with him personally. Sonu was admitted to a suburban hospital for a couple of days as he complained of fatigue. He also had low blood pressure.

A friend of Sonu says, “A couple of days ago, Sonu fell ill suddenly and was immediately rushed to hospital. He was fatigued and his blood pressure had dropped. His hectic schedule is to blame for his deteriorating health as he was working round the clock. To add to it, he had a minor slip disc problem and was under medical observation for a few days. He was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday evening and has been advised bed rest for the next few days.”


This sudden medical emergency has stopped Sonu’s work commitments in their tracks. “Sonu has cancelled all his meetings and recordings for the next few days. He is also suffering from tennis elbow and is currently undergoing treatment for that as well. However, the main concern and worry now is whether he will feel up to it for his forthcoming tours to Singapore and Israel in mid-January,” added the friend.

Sonu remained unavailable for comment.

UTV Motion Pictures and director Ken Ghosh have come up with a unique idea to promote Chance pe Dance. The film’s lead actor, Shahid Kapoor, lives in the car through the major part of the film.

So the film’s marketing team decided to create a marketing strategy on similar lines.

Our source said, “Marketing the film is very important and everyone needs different ideas. It’s very difficult to convince Shahid to do something, but he approved of this idea. We will mostly be using an old Maruti 800, which Shahid has used in the film.

He will actually stay in the car and even have meetings inside the car. The event will take place in January, days before the film’s release.”

Shikha Kapur, VP-Marketing of UTV Motion Pictures said, “Shahid is shown living out of his car in Chance pe Dance, so the idea of having him actually live in his car for two days did come up.

However, this is just one of the many plans for promoting the film and nothing has been finalised at the moment.”
