The Incident During 'Sala Pressure' Performance

The audience, which included many of his fans, he said was in high spirits and enjoying the show.

While performing his hit song “Sala Pressure,” King Saha says he noticed a man in the crowd who began acting aggressively and causing trouble. 

"My fans started beating him up," King Saha recalled. 

I tried to ignore it but the beating continued. That is when I stopped and went to save that person. 

All the video clips you saw, that was me trying to pull that man from the revellers. If I had not intervened he could have been killed," he added.

Saha also revealed that there were concerns about the sound quality but that this was later resolved.
