Sonu Nigam escapes blast but continues concert - Bollywood Movie News
Singer Sonu Nigam, who escaped a car bomb blast outside his concert venue in Karachi, continued with his show but felt the incident would be a huge setback for the India-Pakistan peace process.
"God has given me and my family another chance to live!" Nigam told IANS from Karachi.
He described Saturday night's blast -- in which one person was killed and six others were injured -- as a huge setback to the India-Pakistan peace process and one that would have far-reaching repercussions on cultural relations between the two countries.
A car bomb exploded outside a golf club that was the venue of a concert by the Bollywood singer and Pakistani artists. The bomb went off close to the bus transporting Nigam and his troupe to the venue.
For the singer, the bomb attack in Karachi, where he had gone to perform at a peace concert, has been a shattering experience on many levels.
"My entire family -- my parents, wife and sister could have been wiped out in one split second," Nigam said. "It's such a scary thought, I haven't allowed it to sink in as yet. We're all in a state of shock."
