During the inauguration of Khelo India University Games-2022, Kailash Kher performed and sang the official anthem of the Khelo India event with Prime Minister Narendra Modi present as the chief guest. However, Kher became upset with the organisers due to mismanagement at the venue and was seen in videos lashing out at them on stage. It is reported that Kher was particularly annoyed for being interrupted during his performance because of time constraints.
Kailash Kher expresses his frustration
Numerous photographers captured the moment when Kailash Kher, in front of him, expressed his frustration with the organisers in Hindi. He asked them to learn some manners and blamed them for making him wait for an hour without any etiquette. Kher questioned the significance of Khelo India and said that the event only holds meaning when those at home are happy. He also criticized their lack of skills and warned that he could say more, but he would leave it at that.
Kailash’s angry speech
Kailash said in Hindi (as if in his message to the organisers), “Tameez seekho. Ek ghanta humko intezar karaya uske baad tameez naam ko koi cheez hi nahi hai. Kya hai ye Khelo India. Khelo India
tab hai jab hum khush hain, gharwale khush honge to baharwale khush honge. Tameez seekho. Hoshiyari jhaad rahe ho. Kisi ko kaam karna aata nahi hai, agar bolna chahenge to itna bol denge ki chhod dijiye sab (learn some etiquettes. I was made to wait for an hour and now you have no etiquettes. What is this Khelo India. The event holds significance when those at home are happy, then only those abroad will be happy. Learn some manners. Trying to act smart, you don’t even know how to do your job. If I start talking about it, just leave it…).”
Kailash Kher left disappointed
In another video, it was suggested that Kailash Kher was asked to shorten his live performance. He expressed his disappointment, saying that once he is called to perform, he should be given at least 1-1.5 hours on stage. Kher mentioned that he loves his fans and wants to touch the feet of every Indian, but proper organization is necessary. He warned that if such issues are not addressed, things will continue to go wrong.Kailash Kher continued to express his frustration, saying that he was dancing, singing, and going crazy on stage, despite struggling to catch his breath. He asked the organisers to pay attention to this fact and not to hassle him. Kher said that he came after much struggle amid saints and reminded them that he is not a filmy singer. He added that he lives for his country and is willing to die for it.
