Abhijeet Bhattacharya has found himself in a soup for taking a sly dig at the singers who perform at weddings. The veteran singer recently appeared on a singing-based reality show as a guest to judge the contestants. Giving a piece of advice to a contestant, he said if someone is paying a singer at a wedding, that is against his/her reputation as a singer.

This didn't go down well with Neha Kakkar, who was also one of the judges on the panel and contradicted Abhijeet's statement on the show. Now, another singer has joined the list, and he is Millind Gaba. The Punjabi singer took to his social media handle and shared a video slamming the veteran singer and using the hashtag "Why Dada Why". Industry people fondly address Abhijeet as "Dada".

Millind took to his Instagram handle and shared two videos. In the first, Abhijeet tells a contestant, "If someone is paying you to perform at a wedding, that is against your reputation as a singer. I am dignified to say no when I am asked to sing at weddings.” Soon after he uttered these words, Neha tried to interrupt Abhijeet, but he ignored her and opined, "There's a difference between accepting ₹1 crore to perform and rejecting the same, that's what I am trying to explain.” Later, Neha tried to explain that no work is considered big or small.
