Stopping the concert, he addressed the crowd and said, “In my career, I have sung in multiple languages but the best songs that I have ever sung is in the Kannada language. Whenever I come to your city, I come with lots of love. We do a lot of shows in a lot of places, but whenever we have shows in Karnataka we come with a lot of respect for you. You have treated me like your family, but I didn’t like when the boy there, who is not even as old as my career, is rudely threatening me to sing in Kannada.”

The singer compared the student’s outrage with the Kashmir incident and said, “This is the reason behind the incident in Pahalgam. Please see who is standing before you. I love you guys.” Sonu went on to explain how he loves the people of Karnataka as well as the language as he shared, “I do so many shows across the world where thousands of people gather, and every time I hear even a single person shouting ‘Kannada’, I make sure to sing at least one line in Kannada for them. That’s how much I love and respect all of you. So please be kind.”

A few days back, the singer became victim of identity theft and impersonation.
