Punjabi singer Daler Mehndi breaks his silence on a controversy tied to an Uttarakhand live performance, after he faced criticism from Uttarakhand Cabinet Minister Subodh Uniyal. In a Diwali message posted on Instagram, Mehndi says the response from fans and people across India, along with support from his immediate family, helped him through the period.
Mehndi’s post centres on gratitude. He thanks supporters “from every corner of India,” and specifically credits his brother Mika Singh for standing up for him, describing Mika as a “force to reckon with.” He also mentions his wife Taran and other family members, saying their courage and belief strengthened him. He frames the situation as overwhelming public support rather than focusing on the criticism itself.
Across outlets, the reporting largely aligns: each highlights Mehndi’s Diwali statement, his acknowledgement of Mika Singh’s role, and the emphasis on family support. The main differences are in how each outlet leads—some foreground the “row,” while others focus on the personal message and its themes of resilience and gratitude.
