Rupankar's Controversial Facebook video


The Bengali singer said, "KK is a great singer. But after watching his video, I realised that those who have made a name for ourselves at the level of KK in our Kolkata, i.e., those who have made their names at the level of KK at the national level, those who have made a name for themselves at the level of West Bengal, all the singers who are in our Kolkata like me, Anupam, Somlata, Emon, Raghav, Monomoy, Cactus, Rupam are all better singers than KK." Rupankar questions as why the Bengali audience is not so fond of Bengali singers. All of them are "much better singers" than KK. He said, "Some of the singers I have mentioned are better than KK in any performance. Why is there so much excitement about Bombay? Look at South India, Punjab, Odisha, be a Bengali, please."



Rupankar, however, told the media after KK's death that his post was being misinterpreted, in fact, his post was not out of anger towards KK but by calling for standing by the Bengali song. He told the media, "Let the Bengalis have the same craze for anything in Bengal. It's Bengali songs, paintings, culture – whatever you want. Speakers of other languages have that respect and love for their own language. Rupankar said that people did not understand his statement.
