Browsing: Mehndi

A public confrontation at a music performance has taken a turn towards reconciliation, with Mika Singh’s team confirming that Uttarakhand minister Subodh Uniyal has apologised to singer Daler Mehndi over the phone. The apology comes days after a video of the minister interrupting the veteran singer on stage sparked widespread criticism from the entertainment industry.

The controversy over Daler Mehndi’s interrupted performance in Uttarakhand has now drawn support from the film and entertainment industry. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, defending the singer amid allegations that he was performing under the influence of alcohol.

Singer Sona Mohapatra has joined the debate surrounding Daler Mehndi’s controversial performance in Uttarakhand, but her account goes back several months.
