Sonu Nigam CLARIFIES Pahalgam remark at Bengaluru | Indian Movie News
Renowned playback singer Sonu Nigam has issued a clarification following a controversy at his current Bengaluru live performance, where he confronted backlash for feedback made in response to a fan’s demand for a Kannada music. The incident, which sparked widespread debate, led to an FIR being filed against the singer for allegedly making provocative statements that harm the emotions of the Kannadiga group.
During the live performance on April 25 at East Point College of Engineering and Technology in Bengaluru, a fan repeatedly shouted for a Kannada music, which Nigam perceived as disruptive and impolite. In a viral video, the singer paused his efficiency to tackle the viewers, expressing his love for Kannada tradition and his historical past of singing Kannada songs. However, his reference to the current Pahalgam terror assault on April 22, which claimed 26 civilian lives, stirred controversy. Nigam acknowledged, “Yahi kaaran hai, Pahalgam mein jo hua hai na. Dekho toh kaun saamne khada hai,” implying that such disruptive conduct might have broader penalties. Many interpreted this as equating the fan’s request to terrorism, prompting outrage among Kannada activists and netizens.
On Saturday, May 3, Nigam took to Instagram to share a video clarifying his remarks. He emphasised that his feedback have been directed at a small group of 4 or 5 people who have been inflicting a disturbance, not the complete Kannadiga group. “Sirf chaar-panch gunday type the jo wahan pe chilla rahe the. In fact, wahan ke hazaron log unko mana bhi kar rahe the,” he stated, noting that 1000’s of different attendees, including ladies, have been urging the group to stop disrupting the occasion.
Nigam reiterated his respect for Kannadigas, stating, “Kannadigas are very sweet people,” but pressured the need to tackle the disruptive conduct. He additional clarified his Pahalgam remark, saying, “Unn paachon ko yeh batana aur yaad dilana zarori tha ke Pahalgam mein jab pant utari gayi thi, toh bhasha nahi poochhi gayi thi,” referring to the phobia assault where victims have been focused indiscriminately, regardless of language or identification.
