Nigam's son also happened to pass away on his birthday. Posting an old selfie with his son Devraj, Nigam said, "What a surprise birthday gift... mera beta devraj aaj mujhe chod ke chala gaya.. bina birthday cake kaate... pagle aisa gift koi deta hai (My son Devraj left for his heavenly abode, without cutting my birthday cake. Who gives such a gift?)."

Reportedly, Devraj's health had worsened two years back when he returned home after playing. Later, his son went into a coma which took a toll on Nigam. At the time, the comedian was shooting for the film Har Shaakh Pe Ullu Baithaa Hai. He then decided to put his career on the backburner and focused on his family and so returned to his hometown to take care of his son. The stand-up comedian had first made his name in the comedy scene with his performances in the Great Indian Laughter Challenge.
