There was a bit of a controversy at the Pune concert on Sunday night as the Pune police showed up at the concert venue and asked the performers to stop. Later, they clarified that the concert had gone beyond the 10 pm deadline for noise pollution and that’s why they were asked to shut down.

Abdu walked out of the reality show Bigg Boss on the 106th day. He became good friends with the host, actor Salman Khan as well. Rapper MC Stan was the winner of the 16th season while Shiv Thakare was the first runner-up and Priyanka Choudhary was the second runner-up.
