Sonu Nigam may have split with wife Madhurima, but the two have been in touch after the Kabul mishap. After the stage collapse in Afghanistan, she had spoken to him after the incident. She said, "Of course I have. It's been a very big shock for all of us. When a 12-foot stage collapses, the people concerned will be in a state of shock and hurt. There were 50,000 people there, but the crowd was well behaved and sober. Sonu is safe and unhurt, and that's what's important. He flew back last night. I think some musicians got hurt."
Recently, Sonu publicly stated he was having problems with Madhurima. "The media loves to blow things out of proportion. I have always been an extremely private person and don't like discussing my personal life in public. I have a life of my own, and my work, so I keep myself busy. Sonu is a public figure; he might talk about his personal life - that's part of his profession - but I don't feel the need to talk about myself," states Madurima firmly.
