For an artiste with a significant fan-following in India, Romanian musician Adrian SînÄu00c2u0083, aka Akcent, raised eyebrows when he continued to praise Pakistan's 'fantastic tea', ahead of a tour in the neighbouring country. Reports spread fast about his 'dig' at India, and Indian wing commander Abhinandan Varthaman, but though Akcent was unhindered while repeatedly making the comment, he seems elusive when addressing if they were directed at India.
"Maybe, they think that I am more attached to their country than I am to India. But, I respect my fans, no matter where they come from. Pakistan is [a promising market] for me, as an artiste. There, I have a lot of fans who connect with my music. Over the years, I have had many shows there, as I have in India too. I don't want to be involved in the discussion between India and Pakistan, or make comments and be misunderstood. It is more important [for me] to come to India and sing for [my fans], as I must in places like Bangladesh and Pakistan too," he says.
