In a new development in the Daler Mehndi ‘Sharab’ video row, the singer’s brother Mika Singh today shared a picture with Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Dhami on his X handle, claiming that Mr. Dhami had called him personally to resolve the issue. Mika Singh also claimed that he has requested the Chief Minister that Uttarakhand minister Subodh Unyal, who publicly humiliated Daler Mehndi on stage and accused him of being a ‘drunk’, should issue a video message and apologize to the senior singer.

“I have a lot of respect for the honorable Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, @pushkardhamiji. He called me personally about the matter involving Darer Bhai, and I really appreciate his gesture.

“I know Dhami saab very well. He is a humble, down-to-earth person, and I have a lot of respect for him,” Mika Singh wrote.

“My only humble request to them is to please ask Mr. @subodh unyal1 ji to make a simple video to clarify his statement and apologize to Darer bhai for saying that he was drunk during the performance.

“I believe there can be misunderstandings, but they can also be resolved. I hope this small gesture will help put things to rest and ensure that Darer Bhai’s dignity and reputation is respected,” Singh wrote.

good Morning! 🙏❤️ I have a lot of respect for Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttarakhand @pushkardhami ji. He called me personally about the matter involving Daler Bhai, and I really appreciate his gesture. I know Dhami Saab very well. He is a humble, down-to-earth person, and I have a lot of respect for him. My only humble request to them is to please ask Mr. @SubodhUniyal1 ji to make a simple video to clarify his statement and apologize to Daler bhai for saying that he was drunk during the performance. I believe that misunderstandings can happen, but they can also be resolved. I hope this small gesture will help calm the matter and ensure that the dignity and reputation of Darer Bhai is respected.

“I have faith in Dhami Saab’s understanding and leadership,” he added.

The incident comes after Chief Minister Dhami said that he wants to end the row recently.

Chief Minister Dhami said at a press conference, “Uttrakhand is a land of artists, where everyone is treated with respect. I think this matter should be stopped here. I will talk to Mika and Daler Mehndi. Both are my good friends.” He added, “I believe the minister must have been under public pressure at that time. The minister himself has said that he was unaware that Daler Mehndi was ill.”

On Tuesday, Mika Singh released a video message saying that if Daler Mehndi was ever seen drinking, he would quit singing.

On October 18, Daler Mehndi was performing at the Kunjapuri Mela in Tehri district of Uttarakhand, a major cultural event held as part of Navratri celebrations.

During the performance, Uttarakhand cabinet minister and local MLA Subodh Unyal walked on stage, stopped the singer and scolded him in front of the audience. Unyal asked Daler Mehndi to stop his performance, alleging that the singer went on stage drunk at an event held in honor of Maa Durga.
