While one may expect a makeup team and others with him, but we see an entourage of men in uniform.
Sonu Thukral does not travel without his security and that goes on to say a lot. Music is a universal language that passes borders and communities. Something that everyone connects with.
There has been a steep rise in Punjabi music reigning the mainstream audience with the verve and vigour of zealous beats, irresistible foot-tapping rhythms and more. With Bollywood witnessing the merge of Punjabi music in films and famous actors doing music albums let alone, the music industry is growing far and wide. However, several singers are being subjugated to death threats, firing and more.
Famous singer Sonu Thukral speaks exclusively with India.com on these lines highlighting the importance of artists and how the recent events have created an aura of fear. In the light of recent events we asked Sonu if he has some sort of fear instilled in him before he steps out everyday.
Without thinking twice, Thukral agreed how the firing at AP Dhillon’s house, or death threats received by several singers is on a rise. And those half a dozen commandos and police personne.
