News Desk, Kolkata : On Monday, the entire country celebrated as the foundation for the Ram temple was laid in Ayodhya. The spirit of Ram resonates everywhere with the construction of the Ram temple. However, on that very day, Snigdhojit Bhowmik, the beloved Bengali artist, stirred controversy, sorrow, and raised questions on social media.
Despite being the winner of Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa from North Bengal, this talented artist has recently faced criticism for singing Arijit Singh’s popular song “Ye Khuda.” Snigdhojit expressed his disappointment on social media, questioning whether it was wrong to sing a song praising the divine.
Yes, he was referring to Arijit Singh’s popular song “Ye Khuda.” Snigdhojit, on Monday, shared a lengthy post on Facebook expressing his disappointment. He wrote, “Is it wrong for an artist to sing a song irrespective of their religion? Are Allah, Ishwar, and Bhagwan different for artists? I have sung ‘Pal Tule De, Mon Amar Kemon Kore’ with Azaan and also sang ‘Hare Krishna Hare Ram.’ Everyone enjoyed both performances equally. I have tried to connect with people everywhere, performed more than needed, received love and blessings from everyone, and spread joy from one end of West Bengal to the other. I have not heard any criticism or disrespect from anyone; instead, everyone has shown immense respect and love.”
However, on this day, he feels ashamed and fearful. He questions why he was asked to leave the stage for singing Arijit Singh’s “Ye Khuda.” He emphasizes that he has performed various songs, transcending boundaries, and has always been received with respect and love. Yet, on this day, he is perplexed about why he faced such a situation.
He acknowledges that he sang devotional songs like ‘Ram Bhajan’ and ‘Jai Shri Ram’ on the same stage, spreading joy and happiness among the audience. However, he wonders if uttering Chandidas’s quote, “Sobar upore manush satya, tahar upore nai” (Everyone values the truth, and above that, there is nothing), was a mistake. Despite any errors, he asks for forgiveness from everyone and invites opinions from others.
Snigdhojit’s supporters stand by him, expressing love and encouragement. One fan writes, “Dada, you have the love of millions. It hurts to hear disrespectful words, but move forward, don’t pay attention to negativity.” Another supporter urges him not to worry about criticism and encourages him to continue his work without any hesitation.
In another fan’s words, “Artists and their art transcend caste and religion. Those who criticized you will understand someday that they were wrong. Do not lose courage.”
This incident has not deterred Snigdhojit’s admirers, who stand beside the artist in solidarity. One admirer reassures him, saying, “Brother, you have the love of lakhs of people. If some have disrespected you, they will realize their mistake someday.”
Snigdhojit, in his post, doesn’t mention where and how he faced such a situation, leaving room for speculation. Nevertheless, he clarifies that he faced an unprecedented situation and expresses his disappointment without revealing specific details. This adds an air of mystery to the incident.
Despite the challenges, Snigdhojit remains strong, supported by his fans who appreciate his artistry. The incident has sparked a debate on social media, with people expressing diverse opinions on artists singing across religious lines.
In the end, Snigdhojit extends gratitude to his well-wishers, emphasizing that he has received immense love and respect from people everywhere. He concludes by stating that he will learn from any mistakes and apologizes for any unintentional errors.
The narrative weaves the story, bringing out the emotions, dilemmas, and support surrounding Snigdhojit Bhowmik’s recent experience. The mysterious incident on stage adds an element of curiosity, while the artist’s introspective tone resonates with readers, making it a compelling and engaging narrative.
