Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam has publicly apologized following a contentious incident at a Bengaluru concert. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Nigam expressed his deep affection for Karnataka, stating that his love for the state surpassed any personal pride.

The controversy erupted during an April 25 college event in Bengaluru when a group demanded Nigam sing in Kannada. Nigam's response was met with backlash, as some considered his remarks disrespectful.

As a result, an FIR was filed on May 3, and the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce announced a 'non-cooperation' campaign against the 51-year-old singer for his allegedly offensive statement.
