Key Questions Answered
Mika Singh stated on Times Now's podcast 'Baatein Dil Se' that Pakistanis and common citizens of Pakistan are not bad. He questioned why Indian society views Pakistani Muslims unfavorably while holding a very positive view of Muslims in Dubai.
Mika faced a ban because he performed at a wedding ceremony in Karachi, Pakistan, in August 2019 during a period of high political tensions following changes to Article 370. The All India Cine Workers Association and FWICE announced a ban against him, which was later lifted after he apologized.
Mika clarified that he has no objection to Pakistani singers performing in India and noted that Bollywood has historically welcomed artists from across the border. He believes that if an Indian artist performs there legally and earns respect, the country should be happy rather than viewing it politically.
