Bollywood Singer Sonu Nigam Shaves Off his Head

On Monday, a controversy erupted when Nigam lashed out as "forced religiousness" in India after being woken up to 'azaan' (Muslim calls for prayer) from a Mosque near his home.

He even addressed media and said: "All I wanted was to be considerate with each other like all the big countries in the world. Everyone has right to opinion. My opinion is that in temple masjid, gurudwara, loudspeakers are not religious necessities. It is not part of a religion, going on from years."

He appeared before the media with clean-shaven pate, wearing spectacles and smiling away happily even as various Muslim groups and organizations protested and contemplated moving the courts against him.

He hits back: "Today at 2pm, Aalim will come to my place and shave my head. Keep your 10 lakhs ready Maulvi." Nigam kept his word and shaved off his head after addressing the media conference at his residence where police had beefed up security after his tweets raked up a huge ruckus.

Earlier today, he accepted the challenge by a West Bengal cleric's fatwa offering Rs.10 lakhs to shave off Nigam's head.

Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam on Wednesday shaved off his head, hours after offering to apologise if his controversial tweets were found to be anti-Muslim.
