Singer Mika Singh defends Daler Mehndi following alcohol-related accusations that surfaced during a performance in Uttarakhand. Multiple outlets report that the controversy began when Uttarakhand Minister Subodh Uniyal confronted Mehndi on stage, prompting public criticism from other artists.
In response, Mika Singh says he does not drink and will quit singing if Daler Mehndi is ever seen consuming alcohol. Times of India and other reports add that fellow entertainers, including Palash Sen, Kapil Sharma, and Shaan, publicly supported Mehndi and called for claims to be verified before being repeated widely.
NDTV reports that the incident occurred on October 18 at the Kunjapuri Fair in Tehri district, a major cultural event connected to Navratri celebrations, framing the dispute as unfolding during a public holiday programme rather than a private setting. The outlets do not present confirmed evidence of alcohol use, focusing instead on Mika Singh’s challenge and the broader debate over unverified allegations.
