Reacting to the clip, Rahul Vaidya called it “unfortunate” and urged Dhillon not to “forget his roots”.
“Unfortunate behaviour! In our culture we are taught to worship stage and musical instruments.. and this Punjabi artist who hails from Punjab is copying this old western style of breaking guitars on stage! Sad. AP don’t forget your roots brother!” Rahul commented on Viral Bhayani’s video of AP Dhillon Coachella’s performance.
Besides Rahul Vaidya, social media personality Meenu Panchal also reacted to AP Dhillon’s act of breaking a guitar and wrote, “I feel it’s a disrespect! I don’t care about the logic behind this but “rozi roti ki izzat karna” can never go out of fashion.”
