Recently, Sonu Nigam called out T-Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar with a video that he shared on social media. Sonu also threatened to expose Bhushan and slammed the ‘music mafia’ of the industry. Sonu even warned him not to mess with him or else he would release a video of Marina Kuwar related to Bhushan. While some supported Sonu on taking a stand against the record label while some criticised him. It seemed the music industry too got divided into two parts like Bollywood over the ‘nepotism’ and ‘favouritism’ debate.
Actress and ‘Bigg Boss’ fame Payal Rohatgi who has been always vocal about her opinion, has extended support for Sonu. She said, “Sonu Nigam is a very talented singer. He doesn’t have to just talk to come into TRP. He has obviously spoken because he must be affected by the behaviour of someone. If someone is jeopardising his work, he has the right to address the issue. Why should he live in fear? Nobody has the right to snatch away anybody’s work. Bollywood is not owned by somebody or a camp. It is an open industry and people who have talent should get work. Nobody controls the future of anybody.”
Payal also spoke how she was replaced in ‘Shanghai’ by Dibakar Banerjee. “I was replaced from the movie because of my refusal to entertain Dibakar’s sexual move and that is where I experienced how these directors work and how revengeful they are.”
