“My nerves are pinched. For a week, I’ve been at the hospital doing MRIs and CT scans, while also going through physiotherapy, which has been very painful,” he said.

Nigam added that he is taking prescribed medication as part of his recovery and is still relying on painkillers. “I am still taking painkillers, which is why my throat feels very heavy,” he said.

Despite the condition, the singer said he was preparing to return to the stage after a brief recovery period. “On top of that, I am performing after one month and 10–12 days,” he said, referring to his upcoming appearances.

The singer emphasised that he intends to honour his professional commitments while continuing treatment.
