Speaking exclusively to India Today, singer Gurdas Maan said that late Sidhu Moose Wala's parents used to advise him to write songs on topics other than gun culture.

According to legendary playback singer Gurdas Maan, Sidhu Moose Wala’s parents used to tell him not to write songs on gun culture.

“When you become an idol for the youth, they start doing the same things. His parents used to explain this to him. His father told me that he used to tell him to write songs on other topics. But Sidhu Moose Wala said that when he tried writing a song on his mom, no one listened. Whenever someone said something about him, he’d write a song as revenge. His fans liked that. His mind worked that way,” Gurdas Maan said in an exclusive interview with India Today.
