The phrase "Mazza Aa Gaya" perfectly captured the mood in New Delhi on the night of December 27, as thousands witnessed the sheer power of playback singer Sunidhi Chauhan live at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. The Delhi stop of her much-anticipated 'I Am Home' tour turned out to be an electrifying spectacle that exceeded all expectations.
An Early Start and a Non-Stop Musical Ride
Defying the usual trend of concerts starting late, Sunidhi Chauhan took the stage at around 6:45 PM, a full fifteen minutes before the scheduled 7:00 PM start. This early surprise set the tone for an evening of relentless energy. The singer, known for her powerful vocals, kept the audience captivated for an impressive over two and a half hours without a single break, proving her mettle as a consummate performer.
Her setlist was a nostalgic journey through her vast and beloved repertoire. She had the crowd singing along to one evergreen hit after another, including Dhoom Machale, Bumbro, Mast, Mehboob Mere, and Beedi Jalaile. The performance was not just an auditory delight but a visual one too, with Sunidhi showcasing electrifying dance moves that left the audience spellbound. She concluded the powerhouse set with her blockbuster number 'Sheila Ki Jawani', sending waves of frenzy through the stadium.
A Surprise On-Stage Reunion with Sanya Malhotra
One of the major highlights of the evening was a special guest appearance. Actor Sanya Malhotra, who like Sunidhi hails from Delhi, joined the singer on stage. The duo performed to their hit collaborative song 'Aankh', released last year, much to the delight of the fans.
Overwhelmed by the experience, Sanya later took to Instagram to share a heartfelt note. "It's a true pinch-me moment... getting to perform with her in Ankh music video and now on stage still blows my mind," she posted, praising Sunidhi's energy and generosity. She also shared behind-the-scenes moments from the Delhi gig.
Tour Set to Conquer More Cities
The Delhi concert follows a memorable show in Mumbai, where Sunidhi had invited veteran singer Alisha Chinai on stage. The 'I Am Home' tour is now set to bring its magic to fans across the country. Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Indore, Lucknow, and Kolkata are the next cities on the itinerary where audiences can expect a similar treat.
The success of the Delhi leg was also a testament to the seamless work of Sunidhi's incredible team of dancers and backup singers, who elevated the show to another level. With this performance, Sunidhi Chauhan once again solidified her status as an iconic force in the Indian music industry, effortlessly ruling both the stage and the hearts of her fans.
