Singer Sonu Nigam apologised to Kannadigas after Karnataka Rakshana Vedike threatened to disrupt his Bengaluru concert, saying he would apologise 'a thousand times' to preserve the thirty-year bond with the state. He met KRV state president T.A. Narayana Gowda and expressed regret over earlier remarks that compared a Kannada song request to the Pahalgam attack.
