Sonu Nigam reacts to edited clip of him mocking Salman Khan's song Main Hoon Hero
Singer Sonu Nigam recently addressed a viral clip that appeared to show him mocking actor Salman Khan’s Main Hoon Hero Tera music video, clarifying that the footage had been deceptively doctored.

While responding to the viral clip, Sonu wrote, "Can expect the unexpected on the internet...I stumbled upon this edited video. This was my reaction for a Pakistani little girl singer (sic)."
In the clip, which the singer clarified was doctored, he is heard saying, "Mera dimag kharab ho gaya...Abhi bhi aisa kaam ho sakta hai ki koi insaan fut fut ke roye. Ye socha nahi tha maine ki main fut fut ke rounga (It completely blew my mind... To think that such work can still be created, making a person weep uncontrollably. I never imagined that I would cry my heart out like this)?" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sonu Nigam (@sonunigamofficial)
