Singer Sukhwinder Singh leaves an event partway through after Priyanka Chopra’s arrival, with composer Salim Merchant recalling that it left him “very sad.” Merchant says the singer felt hurt when the focus shifted toward the actress during the proceedings. The accounts describe Singh exiting the venue before the event concluded.

The reports frame the incident as an emotional reaction to changes in attention rather than a dispute over the event’s arrangements. While both outlets cite Merchant’s recollection as the basis for the story, they emphasize different facets of the moment—particularly Singh’s feelings and his decision to leave—without detailing additional actions by Chopra or event organizers. The narrative is presented as a behind-the-scenes anecdote from Merchant.
