MUMBAI: Famed Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam has come forth revealing that he was hospitalised in Mumbai earlier this week due to severe reaction from seafood.

The singer, who was back on his feet in time for a concert in Orissa on Tuesday night, advised fans to "never ever ever ever take a chance with allergies".

The 'Kal Ho Na Ho' singer took to Instagram to post two images of himself. Along with the pictures he wrote:

"Thanks for your concern and love. Now that you know that I am returning back from Jeypore Orissa after managing a concert last night, I now don't mind sharing how I was the day before yesterday."

He added: "Lesson for all of us, never ever ever ever take a chance with allergies. Sea food in my case. If Nanavati Hospital wasn't near by, my trachea would have swollen up further and lead to asphyxiation [sic]."

Sonu also wished his fans and well-wishers a "happy and healthy life".

Previously, Sonu was under fire for defending music composer Anu Malik, an alleged sexual harasser.

"The torture, harassment, can happen anywhere. It happens in the corporate world too. You have accused him, you have shamed him; now don't punish his family. Get proof first," he had said.
