Mika Singh’s Ban Trouble For Everyone, “If Someone Works With Mika Singh During This Ban, He Too Will Be Banned,” Stated FWICE

Mumbai: Over the past few days, Mika Singh has been in the eye of a storm — the singer has been banned by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees association (FWICE) after he performed at a wedding reception in Pakistan. He is expected to meet members of the FWICE today to offer his version of the event before the body gives its final verdict. Interestingly, despite the ban imposed on him since last week, Singh has been included as part of Salman Khan’s upcoming event.

A six-city gig across the US — titled Up, Close and Personal With Salman Khan. “We are only dealing with Bhavesh Patel as our contract is with him. Some local promoter in the US must have signed on Mika and added him to the line-up. Salman will have nothing to do with Mika at the event. They will not even interact on stage”, said the event management team’s Jordy Patel.

Meanwhile, Ashok Dubey, general secretary, FWICE, says that the ban on Singh will continue if he cannot assuage the body’s reservations in today’s meeting. “If we impose a ban, it means all our technicians — including actors, directors, and even spot boys — will not work with Mika. If someone works with Mika during this ban, say Salman or anyone else, then he too will be banned.”

Ask him if the ban applies to gigs that are held overseas, and Dubey says, “Whether it’s an organiser from the US or any other country, we cannot stop anybody from conducting an event. Our policy is simple — we will not work with the person who has been banned.”
