A day after his "I feel like it would be better if I was from Pakistan” comment sparked the debate on social media, versatile singer Sonu Nigam has issued his clarification in this regard. According to reports, the singer on Sunday had said that sometimes he wishes he was from Pakistan so he would get more offers from India. The singer has now issued a clarification in this regard. In a Facebook post, Sonu said journalists missed the “real content” and his statement was “reduced” to “sensational” headlines. "Sometimes in an attempt to make headlines catchy and sensational, some journalists miss the real content...My point about being better off being born in Pakistan was about the music companies in India asking Indian singers to pay 40-50 per cent of their concerts remunerations to them, and only then they'll work with those artistes.. but they don't ask the same from the singers from abroad, namely Pakistan," Sonu posted on his Facebook page. "This was the important point I made... and these guys... changed it to 'I would have been better off born in Pakistan I'd have work come my way.' What do I say. Pathetic."
This was not the first time that Sonu embroiled in the controversy. In the past, the singer grabbed the spotlight for criticising the use of loudspeakers at places of religious importance.
