Punjabi singer Karan Aujla, currently on his UK tour, faced an unexpected incident during his performance at the O2 Arena in London. The concert, which had been going smoothly, was disrupted when an audience member threw a shoe at the singer while he was on stage. Videos and pictures of the incident quickly surfaced on social media, capturing the moment and Aujla’s reaction.
Mid-performance, as Aujla sang and danced, the shoe was seen flying from the crowd and landing near him. Startled, the singer paused his performance and addressed the situation directly. “Hold on! Who was that?” Aujla said, visibly upset. “I f*****g telling you to come up on the stage. Let’s do one-to-one right now. I know how to fight. Don’t be throwing your shoes in shame,” he added, challenging the individual responsible.
He continued, “I am not singing that bad that you hit me with shoes. If any of you have a problem with me, then come directly on the stage and talk… because I am not saying anything wrong.” Security quickly intervened, and the person who threw the shoe was escorted out of the venue.
Internet Reacts to Incident
The incident sparked widespread reactions on social media. Many fans praised Aujla for handling the situation with composure. “Handled well without offending,” one fan commented. Another tweet read, “Someone threw a shoe at Karan Aujla in the London O2 arena. They are lucky he did a whole show.”
However, there were also attempts to clarify the incident. One fan claimed the individual had thrown the shoe hoping to get it autographed by Aujla. “I just want to clear everyone, the guy who threw the shoe at Karan Aujla just wanted him to sign on that shoe. That’s not the way to get an autograph,” the fan wrote. Another attendee tweeted, “I was there. It was not scripted. The guy who threw the shoe was kicked out.”
