Bollywood’s beloved singer Sonu Nigam mesmerised thousands in Srinagar on Sunday evening with a breathtaking live concert along the picturesque banks of Dal Lake. The event, organised by NDTV Good Times in collaboration with the Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Department, turned the SK International Convention Centre into a vibrant celebration of music, culture, and unity.
The evening was filled with Nigam’s iconic Bollywood hits that echoed across the serene waters, captivating both locals and tourists. The performance also featured moments of deep emotion as he paid homage to Kashmir’s beauty and spirit. His blend of charm, humility, and stage energy left the audience spellbound, marking one of the most memorable musical nights the Valley has seen in recent years.
The concert was part of a larger cultural initiative by the Jammu and Kashmir administration to showcase the region as a growing hub for art and tourism. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha lauded the event as a reflection of the new cultural vibrancy taking root across the Union Territory. Officials highlighted that Jammu and Kashmir continues to draw record numbers of visitors each year, reinforcing its image as a safe and thriving destination.
While the Lieutenant Governor could not attend due to Chhath Puja observances, he praised the collaboration and confirmed his participation in a similar upcoming event featuring A.R. Rahman in Varanasi next month.
For local artistes, the concert served as a vital platform to share the stage with one of India’s most respected singers, igniting hope and enthusiasm within the Valley’s growing creative community. The successful event is being hailed as a symbol of Kashmir’s cultural revival and a milestone in its journey toward global tourism prominence.
