Kannada rapper Chandan Shetty’s impromptu proposal to his fellow former Bigg Boss contestant Nivedita Gowda during the official Yuva Dasara event in Mysuru on Friday did not go well with all. On October 4, the rapper went down on his knees for the proposal on the stage at the Mysuru Maharaja’s College Grounds in front of the crowd during the state government program. The singer had said, “I thought it would be the right opportunity to take our relationship to another level. It is music that binds us,” according to The Times of India. Reacting to the incident, Minister-in-charge of Mysuru district V Somanna asked the police to issue a show cause notice to the couple for using a public stage for private use. “I have told the police to issue a show cause notice. We will consider action as per the law. It is wrong to misuse the platform,” Somanna told reporters, stating he was not happy with the “surprise act.” He added, “Yuva Dasara stage is sacred as it is associated with Dasara festival, which has religious significance. He shouldn’t have used it to ask a girl to marry him.” Other than the minister’s objection, three private complaints were also registered with Lakshmipuram police against the duo. The rapper later apologised in a video posted on social media, saying, “This was done purely for entertainment to keep my fans happy. But I had not informed the organisers about this,” according to The Hindu. He further stated that he did not want to hurt the sentiments of people. While Chandan received a lot of criticism, there was a mixed response on social media over the proposal. Finally @chandanspshetty proposed #Niveditha officially. Love you guys .
