Here we go again with Mika Singh! The singer releases official statement on the slap gate controversy

Bollywood’s sensational singer Mika Singh has been the highlight of a number of controversies. After being on the receiving end of the famous five print signature to the face, the pop singer has now been accused of having lost his cool on a doctor. Mika has allegedly been booked for hitting a doctor while performing at a concert in the nation’s capital this past Saturday (April 11th) Here’s what Mika had to say about the incident!

“I had made a humble request whilst being on stage, as I always do that the ladies and children should be given space to dance and enjoy the show. I asked the gentleman in the audience several times politely to move over to the side slightly and most complied straight away.

However, there was a small group of men, who constantly ignored my requests. The ladies meanwhile were consistently asking me to ask them to move slightly. Again, I kept very calm and upon the ladies persistence I again requested the gentleman to give them some space. It was then that the particular doctor in mention starting swearing at me from the audience and showing his middle finger in front of all the doctors present. I realized at this point he was drunk which all the doctors also witnessed.

I called him up on stage, and asked him whether he would feel just as comfortable doing the same actions on stage or in front of his family. He continued his tirade of swearing after which I lost my cool which I probably shouldn’t have and slapped him.

Now what I want to ask is why is it that I am always perceived in a negative way even when I am doing things for the protection of our own Women? Would people have rather preferred if I hadn’t taken a step to help others? Either I should ignore people like this and let these type of things carry on in our country or forget who I am and stand up for the vulnerable.
I have been like this for the last 18 years and I will never change myself. I would like to tell you of an incident last year where I helped two men on the road who had suffered a hit and run accident. The next day the news reported that I had hit them with my car and I was the target of the media. The question is why is help first perceived in the wrong way?

Finally, I just want to conclude by saying the people can decide whether I was right or wrong. I did what I felt was for the betterment of our ladies and children and I will always continue to stand up against what is wrong.”
