New Delhi: Popular Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam was rushed to hospital after he suffered a serious seafood allergy. The singer-actor was admitted to the Nanavati Hospital after he developed an allergic reaction to the food he consumed and his eye got swollen.

Sonu took to his social media handle and shared the horrifying experience with his fans. He wrote: “Thanks for your concern and love. Now that you know that I am returning back from Jeypore Orissa after managing a concert last night, I now don't mind sharing how I was the day before yesterday. Lesson for all of us, Never ever ever ever take a chance with allergies. Seafood in my case. If Nanavati Hospital wasn't nearby, my trachea would have swollen up further and lead to asphyxiation. Happy and Healthy life to everyone. #health #lifeisbeautiful #goodfortune.”
