Sonu Nigam got into controversies due to a concert in Bangalore. He was banned from the Kannada industry following the statement of Sonu Nigam on the appeal of singing in Kannada, raging on the stage. However, now Sonu Nigam has forgiven the controversy and put an end to the controversy.
Sonu Nigam wrote from its official Instagram account, ‘Sorry Karnataka, my love for you is bigger than my ego. Always love. ‘
I was threatened in front of thousands- Sonu Nigam
Apart from this, Sonu Nigam has shared another post. In this, the actor kept his view in the whole matter. He wrote, ‘Hello, I have given unprecedented love to language, culture, music, musicians, state and people, not only in Karnataka but anywhere in the world. In fact, I have respected my Kannada songs more than songs in other languages including Hindi. Hundreds of videos are evidence of this on social media. I have a Kannada song for more than an hour, which I prepare for every concert in Karnataka. However, I am not a youth who bear insulting anyone. I am 51 years old, I am in another part of my life and I have the right to be angry that my son like a young man threatened me in front of thousands of people, that too in Kannada which is my second language in my work.
The singer further said, ‘That too just after my first song of the concert! He provoked some more people. His own people were embarrassed and asking him to remain silent, I told him very humble and love that the show has just started, this is my first song and I will not disappoint them, but they will have to let me continue the concert as I have planned. Every artist has a list of songs so that musicians and technicians can keep pace. But he was intent on creating a ruckus and threatening me wildly. Tell me whose mistake is there?
Singer said- hate those who spread hatred
In his post, the singer further wrote, ‘As a patriot, I hate all those who try to spread hatred in the name of language, caste or religion, especially what happened in Pahalgam. I had to convince them, and I did it, and thousands of students and teachers cheered me for it. The matter was over and I sang Kannada for more than an hour. All this is on social media, I leave this to the sensible people of Karnataka to decide who is guilty here. I will accept your decision politely. I fully respect the Karnataka law agencies and the police and trust them and will follow whatever will be expected from me. I have got divine love from Karnataka and whatever your decision, I will always cherish it without any malice. ‘
Know what is the whole controversy?
Sonu recently performed at a college in Bangalore. Singers were singing their iconic Hindi songs, meanwhile, a fan shouted loudly and started speaking Kannada-Kannada. On hearing this, Sonu Nigam stopped his performance in the middle and reprimanded the boy.
Pissing the fan, Sonu said, I did not like that there would not be a boy, who would not be as old as I have been singing for Kannada for years. It was so much that he was screaming from the crowd- Kannada-Kannada. This is the reason, what has happened in Pahalgam, this is the reason, what you are doing here or here.
FIR was lodged against Sonu Nigam
After this, an FIR was lodged against singer Sonu Nigam for hurting the sentiments of the Kannada community. A case was registered against Singer at Avallly police station in Bengaluru. At the same time, seeing the matter growing, Sonu Nigam also gave his clarification on this too. He had said, ‘There is a difference between talking and threatening with love. There were only four-five horny types of which were screaming there.
Thousands of people present there were refusing him. I remember the girls were also screaming at them. They were stopping them not to do this. It was very important to remind those five that the pants were not removed by asking the language in Pahalgam. The people of Kannada are very cute. Do not think that such a wave was going on there.
Kannada industry announced to ban
On May 5, there was a meeting of the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce, in which it was decided to ban Sonu Nigam. It was decided in the meeting that until Sonu Nigam apologizes on this issue, he will not be given any work in the Kannada industry.
