When Kangana was asked about the controversy, the actress said, “See I can’t speak for anyone, but I personally love azaan! When we were shooting for ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ in Lucknow, I loved the sound of it (azaan), I can only speak for myself! Whatever religious activity, may it be at the gurudwara, or Bhagavad Gita, or azaan, I personally like it a lot! And, I personally like going to places of worship like masjid, temple or church! We go for a Christmas Mass too! Again, as I said, I can only speak for myself, but that’s not to say that what he’s (Sonu Nigam) saying should not be considered, whatever he said is his opinion and he should be respected for that; I think that’s the idea of bringing it to social media, isn’t it, so it should be discussed! Does that answer your question?”

The singer grabbed headlines after he tweeted about being woken up by the morning azaan and the forced religiousness in India, and received flak for it. A maulvi also issued a fatwa against him, saying that he will give a reward of Rs 10 lakh to the person who can shave Sonu’s head and as an answer, Sonu went ahead and got his head shaved after holding a press conference at his residence.
