Sonu Nigam on his medical condition, shares health update

In an interview with Bombay Times, Sonu Nigam said, "I think a wrong workout move or sleeping in one position for too long may have triggered it. Even the slightest movement of my head would result in severe pain." The singer further revealed that doctors prescribed him painkillers, but he knew he couldn't rely only on that.

The singer recalled visiting Delhi for an awards function, when he realised he couldn't do anything. ChaalBaaz director Pankaj Parashar came to his rescue and connected him with a good doctor. That's when Sonu began physical therapy with the doctor. "He worked with me twice a day for two and a half hours and literally helped me stand up."And now, he is finally in a position to return to Mumbai and start working again.He also told the publication that years of practise helped him overcome a setback. The singer admitted he was frightened when he went on stage thinking that his voice would be affected. However, he eventually realised that it sounded fine.
