Mumbai, March 13 Wrestler and MMA fighter Sangram Singh, who is also known for his popular and clean run on the reality show Bigg Boss, has expressed his views on the current controversy surrounding rapper Badshah's song, "Tatiri."
When IANS asked Sangram about his opinion and views on the controversy due to the use of abusive language involving children and women, the wrestler spoke frankly.
"I strongly believe that such songs should not be made," Sangram said to IANS. "Many rappers today use abusive language, and I think that is wrong, regardless of who the singer is. Personally, I don't listen to that kind of music."
Sangram added that the audience needs to be more responsible and stop encouraging inappropriate content.
"However, I also believe that the audience plays a role in shaping content. If people, especially young people, stop encouraging such music, creators will automatically move towards better and more meaningful songs," he said.
Speaking about his favorite singers and the genre of music he enjoys, Sangram added, "I still enjoy the timeless songs of great singers like Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi, Mukesh, Lata Mangeshkar, and Udit Narayan."
The former Bigg Boss contestant further said, "I have read in the news that some artists claim that using harsh language helps them express themselves, but I don't agree with that approach."
Talking about the controversy surrounding Badshah's song "Tatiri," earlier this week, the Haryana police had initiated the process of issuing a Look Out Circular (LOC) to prevent Badshah from leaving the country.
According to officials, a First Information Report (FIR) had been registered at the Cyber Police Station in Sector 20, Panchkula.
The case against the rapper pertains to the song and video "Tatiri," which authorities claim contains objectionable content and inappropriate depiction of women and minors.
Police said that the video allegedly showed minor girls wearing short school uniforms and throwing away their school bags, running away from studies.
They also said that the use of the word "Badshala" in the song is said to portray the school and educational environment in a negative manner.
Officials also stated that the song included objectionable and indecent words directed at women and girls.
