Mika Singh Defends Daler Mehndi Amid Navratri Row, Vows To Quit Singing If 'Drunk' Claims Are Proven
- On Sunday, October 18, Cabinet Minister Subodh Uniyal interrupted singer Daler Mehndi at the Kunjapuri Fair in Uttarakhand, alleging the performer was intoxicated and relying on pre-recorded tracks instead of singing live.
- Minister Subodh Uniyal questioned the quality of Mehndi's performance at the ₹35 lakh Maa Kunjapuri Mela event, telling the artist he was 'unable to sing' and demanding he stop the show.
- Defending his brother, Mika Singh stated that Mehndi recently underwent major surgery and has been unwell for two years, suggesting his condition on stage resulted from poor health rather than alcohol.
- Challenging the allegations, Mika vowed to 'quit singing' if anyone could prove the singer consumes alcohol, while urging media outlets to verify facts before spreading unproven claims.
- After nearly 30 years as a superstar, Mehndi has previously claimed in a 2024 interview that he avoids alcohol to protect his voice, noting that maintaining his vocal range remains challenging after decades in the industry.
