A video circulating on social media shows Uttarakhand singer Kishan Mahipal reacting angrily to a fan who requested he sing a Marathi song at a New Year event. The fan, identifying as from Maharashtra, stated he requested a Marathi track due to not understanding the Pahadi language. While Mahipal berated the fan, others intervened. Some social media users supported the fan's request, citing India's linguistic diversity, while others questioned the demand.
