The 36-year-old singer was performing at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg, when he accidentally stepped into the path of one of the flamethrowers at the edge of the stage.
"What are you doing, man? Do you want me to burn my face?," a clearly irritated Niigaam told the technicians from stage before continuing with his performance. The firework was part of singer's show, which was a blazing display of colour and dance.
The singer, known for hits like 'Suraj Hua Maddham', 'Deewana', 'Kal Ho Naa Ho', thrilled the audience by mixing English and Indian songs in a unique way to dance moves that included steps popularised by Michael Jackson and Shammi Kapoor.
Niigaam was also joined onstage by his young son Neevan for a cute rendition of the popular song 'All is Well' and his Agam, who rendered a few golden oldies. The singer also had a concert in Cape Town on Saturday and will do one more in Durban on Friday.
