Respect for taking responsibility. As a public figure, your words and art have a huge impact, especially on youth. Glad the women's commission and others were heard. This is how progress happens.

Honestly, this feels like damage control after the controversy blew up. Artists should think about these things *before* releasing a song, not after. But better late than never, I suppose.

Being a proud Haryanavi means respecting its women and culture in your portrayal. The apology and correction were necessary. Looking forward to the new version on the 14th!

This is a positive step. So many songs normalize problematic attitudes. If big artists like Badshah become more conscious, it sets a better example for the entire industry. 🙌
