Open letter from Sonu Nigam after FIR for suspected insulting Kannadigas
Sonu Nigam has trouble with the national award-winning singer in Bangalore in a provocative statement held on April 25 at East Point Academy in the Karnataka capital. The recent terrorist attacks occurred in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 tourists were killed. The complaint said the singer insulted the Canadiga community by linking simple requests to sing Kannada songs with acts of horror and equating their cultural pride and linguistic identity with violence and intolerance. In addition, following his controversial remarks, there were also calls for a ban on the Kannada film industry from entering the Kannada film industry.
On Monday, May 5, Sonu Nigam now wrote an open letter on his Instagram, giving clarification on the whole thing. He wrote: “Namaskara, my love for languages, culture, music, musicians, musicians, nations and people is not only my love in Karnataka, but also anywhere else in the world. In fact, I respect my Kannada songs, my songs are more important than songs in other languages in Karnataka.”
However, the singer asserted that he had no one humiliated anyone, especially by someone as young as his son. “But, I'm not a young lad. I'm 51 years old and in the second half of my year, I have the right to offend someone as young as my son, directly in my second song, this is my second song, this is my second song.
“Their own people were embarrassed and were asking them to shut up. I told them very politely and lovingly the show has just started, it's my first song and that I will not let them down, but they have to let me continue with the concert the way I have planned. Every artist has a song list prepared so the musicians and technicians are in sync. But they were hell bent on creating ruckus and threatening me wildly. Tell me who is at fault?”, Sonu shared how he tried to calm down active audiences.
“Becoming a patriot, I hate any hatred of anyone trying to use language, caste or religion, especially after what happened to Pahalgam, I had to go to school. I did them, I did, I did, and thousands of students and teachers cheered on it. It got over and I stayed here for an hour, and I stayed here for an hour. I stood out in socializing. Your verdict was graceful.
