Mika Singh defends Daler Mehndi
On October 20, Mika Singh shared a video message, in which he refuted Daler Mehndi's allegations of performing under the influence of alcohol. He said that Daler Mehndi has been ill for the last two years and recently he had undergone a major surgery. According to Mika, his poor health can also affect his performance.

In the caption of his video, Mika wrote, “Happy Dussehra to all of you! I have a special request to my media friends to check the facts before publishing any news. If someone makes allegations without proof, do not trust him blindly and do not spread the news without knowing the truth.”
Mika described the behavior as disappointing
Mika Singh further said, “The way Daler Mehndi was treated on stage was disappointing. A respected minister came on stage and started accusing him of drinking alcohol. But before publishing such things, shouldn't we check the facts and give the artist a chance to present his side? Would any international band dare to behave like this with Coldplay? I know my brother Daler Mehndi and he does not drink alcohol. He has been ill for the last two years and Still recovering, he is performing with his band.”
