Few days ago, Punjabi sensation Diljit Dosanjh has been asked by a cine body, Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), to not perform at a show in the US that is being promoted by a Pakistani national, Rehan Siddiqi.
And now, FWICE has issued new notices to singers Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu. The singers were supposed to perform at the show organised by Pakistani national Moazzma Hunain on November 17.
In the notice, FWICE has ‘requested’ them to refrain from being associated with any event that includes a Pakistani national and cancel the event mentioned.
