On Sunday, a few members of the audience at the Hampi Utsav in the Vijayanagara district of Karnataka attacked singer Kailash Kher.

The incident, according to reports, occurred during the concert when his band Kailasa performed on stage in response to a request that Kailash sings a song in Kannada.

Kailash said, "It was such an energetic crowd of close to 50,000 people and everyone was singing along. Par har jagah kuch log hote hain jo zyada excited ho jaate hain. Two impulsive young boys got restless. They wanted to hear Kannada songs. Since we had a pre-decided sequence of songs, I asked them to have patience."

"We had a surprise set planned, as I wanted to pay a musical tribute to Puneeth Rajkumar sir (late Kannada actor). I had prepared a medley of the hit songs I had sung for him. The plan was to render it towards the middle of the show. But those guys lost patience and threw a water bottle towards the stage," the singer added.
