Indian playback singer Arijit Singh, who recently took Kolkata by storm with his concert on February 18, penned a long apology note for his fans on social media.
He also indirectly criticised the management and volunteers and promised the people of Kolkata that he will return with a better concert next time.
However, within an hour of putting up the post, the singer deleted it from his social media handle without any explanation.
Arijit Singh's apology note for fans
Arijit took to his Facebook page and apolgised to his fans for the mismanagement at the concert. In his now-deleted post, he wrote, "I am sorry that you had to park your cars almost 1km away and walk to the venue (as Toto rickshaws were unable handle the rush)."
He went on to say that he was sorry that the attendees at the concert had to "tolerate the unhealthy place and mosquito bites".
"I am sorry some volunteers misbehaved with so many people as if they have the authority to do so!" he added.
Arijit also stated that a lot of people could not enter the venue on time as the volunteers "did not care to help" with the hand bands and that the attendees had to figure it out themselves.
The singer then thanked his fans for showering him with love at the concert despite the difficulties and mismanagement, and promised in Bengali that he will try to provide them with a better experience next time.
Arijit Singh's 'Gerua' controversy
A few days ago, Arijit had found himself embroiled in a controversy after he sang his hit number 'Gerua' on stage amid the saffron bikini row related to Shah Rukh Khan's film 'Pathaan'.
He sang the song while sharing the stage with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and SRK himself during the opening ceremony of Kolkata International Film Festival.
Days after the incident, Arijit's concert in West Bengal was cancelled by the authorities, which led to a political slugfest between the Trinamool Congress and BJP.
Addressing the issue later, Arijit had stated that saffron is the "colour of sanyasis and Swami Vivekananda" and had asked whether there would be a controversy if the leader had worn white too.
