Rahul Vaidya was on cloud nine a few days ago when his new song, Garbe Ki Raat’ was launched with all the pomp and show. The song was doing pretty well too and had managed to grab the attention of everyone. It had actress Nia Sharma joining Vaidya for the music video and there was nothing to dislike in the song. But then there was one fault.
The song had a mention of “Shri Mogal Maa”, a very respected deity in Gujarat. And her mention in the song was not well received by the fans. Owing to the same, Vaidya landed himself in controversy. He was not just facing backlash on the same, he received death threats too.
Rahul Vaidya’s spokesperson confirmed and said, “Yes it true these messages and calls have gone up in number since last night, the messages speak about having Rahul Vaidya Killed, beaten and filing FIRs against him to have him arrested and so on.. while we would like to maintain that the mention of the Deity was done with respect and did not mean to hurt anyone’s sentiments.”
The statement further said, ”However understanding the fact that the mention has not gone down too well with a certain section of people we respect that and are working to get it rectified at our level. We urge everyone who has taken offense to this to allow us a few days as the platform we have released the song on will take at least a few days to adjust the rectification. Rest assured we respect the emotions and sentiments of all those who have raised their concern and are diligently working towards rectifying it.”
Well, we hope that the things will be rectified and the matter will be sorted soon.
