Daler Mehndi, Mika Singh’s elder brother, has broken down into tears after the controversy over his performance got him in Uttarakhand. The singer had been deeply impacted when Uttarakhand Cabinet Minister Subodh Uniyal cut his show short to publicly challenge his fitness to sing, the singer had said.
Mika told reporters at an Oct. 23, 2026, press conference how he found out about the incident and contacted his brother. Even before they had a chance to discuss what had transpired, Daler became emotional, he said.
The discovery has given the controversy a personal twist after a video of the minister scolding Daler on stage went viral.
Mika has vociferously supported his brother and in public challenged the way the minister dealt with a high-ranking artist.
He has also asked for a public apology from Uniyal, saying that “some allegations” about Daler’s condition while he performed may adversely affect his career.

Mika Singh said that after his own performance in Surat, he came to know about the controversy.
He called Daler that night, but his brother didn’t pick up the phone.
Mika told the KU that he was “disturbed” by the event and had a hard time determining how to react publicly.
The next day he spoke with Daler and it was an emotional talk.
Mika remembered his brother crying almost right away without him even raising the issue of the concert.
Mika said he was going to ask Daler why he agreed to perform when he didn’t feel well. But when his brother’s emotional response altered the course of the conversation, it was a different one.
Mika also said he thought Daler should have stood up for himself during the confrontations by the minister on stage.
But Daler apparently told Mika that he didn’t feel comfortable yelling at others or reacting in an aggressive manner.
Mika said that his brother looked ‘disheartened and confused’ in the public fray.
It has come into the limelight for the amount of energy Daler Mehndi brings to his live performances and he has been performing for decades in India and abroad.
What happened at Daler Mehndi’s Uttarakhand Concert?
The controversy started when Daler Mehndi set foot at the Siddhpeeth Maa Kunjapuri Tourism and Development Fair at Uttarakhand.
During the show, theCabinet Minister Subodh Uniyal went on stage and asked for the singer’s condition and fitness to perform.
In the video of the incident, the minister voiced his discontent with the performance and asked why Daler couldn’t sing properly.
The minister also asked if the singer was playing live or recorded songs.
The fight garnered a lot of attention once it went viral on social media.
In an interview with media Uniyal defended his intervention and said that the organisers had paid Daler ₹35 lakh for the show.
He stated that the organizers and audience should have a good show for the amount of money they paid.
The minister also claimed the singer seemed confused in the event.

Mika also disclosed that his brother was having health problems and was getting better from medical treatment.
Mika said Daler had been going through an operation and hadn’t been in good health for a while.
He said that the singer’s health should not have been used as an alibi to bring him to public shame.
Mika also reported that there were complaints of Daler lip-syncing during the show.

The singer insisted there was no reason to complain about the concert, since it might have been addressed in private.
Meanwhile Mika has admitted that artists should think about their health before taking a gig.
He had been instructing Daler to avoid signing on shows if he wasn’t able to play.

Mika Singh’ wants Subodh Uniyal to make a public apology.
Mika has said he doesn’t want to drag this out any longer, but that he believes an apology by the minister “may be in order”.
His main concern is the potential damage to Daler Mehndi’s reputation.
Mika said when a celebrity claims that an artist was drunk during a show, the claim can go viral and can shape the audience’s view of the singer.
Those who did not attend the concert may believe the accusation to be true from brief clips or social media posts, he said.
So, Mika asked Uniyal for a video explanation and apology.
He has also stressed that the issue should not be seen as being between the family and the Uttarakhand government.
