Daler Mehndi breaks silence after drunk allegations at Uttarakhand concert: 'The love you gave me'
On the eve of Diwali, Daler Mehndi has spoken publicly for the first time since a Navratri performance in Uttarakhand ended in a minister’s accusations and a statewide row, but the singer chose gratitude over explanation, saying nothing about what happened on stage that night. Abhijeet Bhattacharya vows to never lip-sync at concerts amid Daler Mehndi row: ‘Minister became the villain’
On the eve of Diwali, Daler Mehndi has finally spoken out about the controversy surrounding his intoxicated performance at a Navratri concert in Uttarakhand. In a long Instagram post filled with Diwali greetings, the singer expressed his deep gratitude for the outpouring of support he received during this trying time. He thanked his family, particularly his younger brother Mika Singh, wife Taranpreet Kaur, and his children for their unwavering support.
Mehndi also praised his fellow artists and fans across India for standing by him. The incident began when Uttarakhand Minister Subodh Uniyal stopped the performance on October 18, alleging that Mehndi was intoxicated and lip-syncing. Despite the minister's refusal to apologize, the situation has since been largely resolved, with Mehndi reflecting on the experience as a humbling reminder of the importance of family and the power of fan support.
