Actor Anupam Kher says singer Daler Mehndi should not have been publicly humiliated following an on-stage clash with Uttarakhand minister Subodh Uniyal. Kher questions whether the minister’s conduct on stage was necessary, and he calls for support from within the entertainment industry.
Both outlets frame the incident as a dispute played out in public during a stage event. NDTV highlights Kher’s criticism of the act of rebuking and humiliating, while India Today similarly focuses on Kher’s defense of Mehndi in response to Uniyal’s remarks. The reports do not present an agreed account of what was said before the confrontation, but they consistently describe the exchange as a rebuke delivered on stage and Kher’s subsequent intervention on Mehndi’s behalf.
