At the Six Sigma Leadership Summit in Healthcare held on April 25, 2023, at the Taj Palace in Delhi, singer Kailash Kher expressed his strong objection to the common practice of asking artists to perform spontaneously. When the host requested him to sing a few lines, Kher declined and articulated his concerns about how such requests undermine the dignity of artists. He stated, 'A singer and music should not be treated in a way where you just ask them to sing two lines and set the mood. That is very wrong.' Kher further emphasized that artists should not be treated like entertainers by drawing comparisons to other professions, such as sports and military, where similar impromptu requests would be considered inappropriate. He urged the audience to respect artists as seekers of their craft, not mere performers on demand. Kher is known for his hit songs and his band Kailasa, which has contributed significantly to Indian music.
