A bottle thrown at Kailash Kher

New Update

On Sunday, singer Kailash Kher was heckled at a concert in Karnataka's Hampi, purportedly for not singing a Kannada song. In response to the singer's decision to sing solely Hindi songs at the Hampi Utsav's closing ceremony, the audience threw a bottle at him, according to the police.

Two locals, Pradeep, 22, and Surah, 21, were arrested and their statements were recorded, according to police.

The bottle flew towards Mr. Kher while he was performing but almost missed and landed on the stage behind him. The singer carries on with his performance unfazed by this. An official was spotted taking the half-filled water bottle off the stage a little while later.

The Karnataka government hosts the three-day Hampi Utsav every year to honor the legacy of the ancient Vijayanagara Empire. It started last Friday.
