<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nDaler Mehndi\u2019s son, Gurdeep Mehndi, has finally reacted to the controversy that followed Uttarakhand Cabinet Minister Subodh Uniyal\u2019s on-stage scolding of the singer. In a video shared on Instagram, Gurdeep called the incident \u201cvery unfortunate\u201d and thanked everyone who has stood by the family, including his uncle, Mika Singh<\/a>.<\/p>\n Gurdeep Mehndi addressed the camera directly and said this was his stance on the matter after the events of the last few days. He revealed that he was out of India when the incident took place. When he later asked his father how he was doing, Daler Mehndi replied that he was \u201cfirst class\u201d and that he was fine.Gurdeep Mehndi added, \u201cI put that bit in one show, and now it has become another talking point. Obviously we are stressed, and we as a family together are dealing with it. Thank you to everyone for the support, to the film industry, including my chacha ji, Mika Singh.\u201dHe ended his message with a request to fans. \u201cContinue to shower your love on us in this manner. Please support us. Like Papa says, God takes care of the rest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Last Wednesday, Mika also posted on Instagram to thank the Punjabi and Bollywood celebrities who had backed Daler. \u201cSat Sri Akal, everyone! Thank you so much to all the singers from Bollywood to Punjab, fans, friends, family, and well-wishers for your love and support. My point is simple: Daler Mehndi ji does not drink alcohol, and making such allegations against him is completely wrong,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n Daler Mehndi performed on Sunday night at the Siddhpeeth Maa Kunjapuri Tourism and Development Fair in New Tehri, Uttarakhand. Midway through his act, he was stopped and reprimanded on stage by Subodh Uniyal, who questioned his conduct and hinted that the singer was intoxicated. \u201cYou cannot even speak, so how are you going to sing?\u201d the minister said. The clip soon went viral on social media.Later, while speaking to ANI, Subodh Uniyal defended his action. \u201cHe is a big artist. If a big artist doesn\u2019t do justice to their art… He seemed disoriented on stage and didn\u2019t seem to be able to even keep standing. Besides this, he was only lip-syncing to his songs. I told him that he is a big artist and he should do justice to his art; he had been offered \u20b935 lakh to come and perform, but he was not even singing. So, I expressed my resentment,\u201d he said.According to Mika Singh, Daler Mehndi was scared and confused by the minister\u2019s behaviour. He added that both brothers later got a call from Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who assured them they would always be welcome in the state. Mika said the Chief Minister apologised on behalf of the minister.<\/div>\nWhat Daler Mehndi\u2019s son said<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
