Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam thinks that the discussion around his controversial tweets must stop. He said:
Guys, in favour of me and in opposition, let’s agree to agree and disagree. No need to fuel this anymore. Look ahead and move on. Prayers

Nigam offered to apologise if his controversial tweets came across as ‘anti-Muslim’, but they have since been removed. There were also reports of him paying Bollywood’s self-proclaimed reviewer and filmmaker Kamaal R Khan to tweet good things about the singer in a bid to “save his image”.

On April 17, Sonu Nigam complained about the morning azaan that disturbed his sleep, calling it “forced religion” and gundagardi (hooligansim). Days later, a senior Muslim cleric had offered Rs 10 lakhs to anyone who would shave Nigam’s head. The singer, in response, shaved his head and called a press conference clarifying his statement.
A complaint was then filed against the singer in Haryana.
