Ahead of the release of
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3
, the song Hukkush Phukkush, sung by Sonu Nigam and featuring Kartik Aaryan with 1,000 children, was unveiled at a lively launch event.
Sonu
Nigam performed the song live, with
Kartik
standing beside him on stage. However, a video from the event has sparked reactions online, showing how kids enthusiastically flocked around Kartik for selfies, seemingly sidelining and ignoring Sonu.
In the video, a few children greet both Sonu and Kartik by touching their feet, but soon the crowd shifts entirely toward Kartik, excited to take photos with him. Sonu remains on stage, smiling and observing the scene, though he happily poses for a selfie when one young fan specifically approaches him.
Fans online were disappointed to see Sonu sidelined. Many expressed sadness, pointing out Sonu’s legacy in Indian music. One fan wrote, “It’s sad to see the new generation miss out on a legend.” Another fan commented, “It’s truly sad that today’s kids don’t recognize who the real talent is.”
