He shared that he tried to keep singing, but the tears were uncontrollable. He thought he would take the chance but couldn’t even sing. The singer continued, saying he almost stopped the song but didn't want to disappoint the audience. Nigam also mentioned that he had never cried like this on stage before; if he had stopped, the audience might have thought he didn’t sing well.

Sonu Nigam later reflected on his past struggles in the Instagram video, particularly the tough years after the passing of his mother in 2013. He admitted that he often cried during performances in the years following her death. “The years after my mother’s passing were really hard. I would cry a lot during my performances,” he revealed.

Before ending the video, Sonu expressed gratitude to his fans for their love and support. He also apologized for the emotional moment, saying, “Thank you for the love; please forgive my mistakes. Insaan hoon, hyper-emotional ho jata hoon kabhi kabhi (I am a human and sometimes become hyper-emotional).”

Taking a fun dip, the singer captioned the video, writing, “Mere Dholna Agli baar Rona Controlna,” reflecting on his emotional side. Right after the video came out, many fans showed their love and support. A fan commented, “Seeing you crying made us cry too (Crying emoji), We Love You (Red heart emoji).

The song Mere Dholna 3.0 from the movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 became a big hit among fans, mainly because it was featured in the film’s emotional climax.
