Singer Mika Singh certainly knows how to make headlines. He often finds himself in some sort of public dust-up. Recently, however, it was a simple news headline that caused his latest stir. Mika got so mixed up that he ended up paying tribute to a living film director, Priyadarshan. This blunder quickly made him the target of online trolls.
Mika Singh is known for his hit songs in Bollywood films. But his career has also seen many controversies and strong statements. This time, he misread a news item. He thought it meant director Priyadarshan had passed away. Without much thought, he posted “Om Shanti” in the news article’s comment section. This quick comment opened the floodgates. Social media users wasted no time in criticizing him heavily. Mika became a trending topic for all the wrong reasons.
What Caused the Confusion?
The actual news about Priyadarshan was quite different. Last Sunday, reports circulated about the director’s future plans. Priyadarshan himself hinted he might retire after completing two films, ‘Haiwan’ and ‘Hera Pheri 3’. A news portal published this story with a headline that read, “Priyadarshan might bid farewell to Bollywood.” Mika Singh likely saw “bid farewell” and jumped to the wrong conclusion. He thought it meant the director had died. So, he posted his “Om Shanti” message online, right there in the comments. This simple misunderstanding led to a wave of online teasing.
Fans React to Mika’s Comment
As soon as users spotted Mika Singh’s “Om Shanti” comment, they started to pile on. One user quickly wrote, “He (Priyadarshan) is alive.” Another person commented, “Oh sir, you’ve had too much to drink.” Someone else chimed in, asking playfully, “It’s just evening, brother, why so soon?” This user was clearly hinting at Mika’s drinking habits. A funny comment suggested, “Brother, haven’t you had a shot? Take off your glasses.” Many similar comments flooded Mika Singh’s social media pages.
