"The way he communicated with Daler Paaji and me was very polite and humble. He offered an apology on behalf of the Minister and though I told him it wasn’t necessary since he made no mistake," he further added.

Mika Singh went on to say, "The problem is that this happened to my brother, who is completely innocent and did nothing wrong. What was I supposed to do—if I kept making video statements back-to-back, people would say this is all I do."

"However, I carefully thought it through and recorded a video at night, and when I called Paaji the next day, he broke down crying because he was emotional. On top of that, I can be quite straightforward and tend to scold him for agreeing to things, but before I could even say anything, he started crying like a child," said Singh.

He further mentioned, "I want to express my deepest gratitude to the entire Bollywood industry, the people of Punjab and all of Daler Paaji’s fans for the immense support shown after watching the video where he was scolded."

Daler Mehndi’s performance at a Uttarakhand religious fair was halted by minister Subodh Uniyal, who accused the singer of being intoxicated and lip-syncing. Several celebrities, including Mika Singh, Kapil Sharma and Anupam Kher, came out in his support.
