Kumar Sanu recalls singing for Dawood Ibrahim, defying police warning

Kumar Sanu is a famous singer who sings songs for Indian movies.

He told a story about a time he was asked to sing in a city called Dubai.

A music director named Nadeem took him to a birthday party.

Kumar Sanu did not know that a powerful man named Dawood Ibrahim would be there.

Dawood Ibrahim and his family sat right in front of him while he sang.

When a picture of the party appeared in the newspaper, Kumar Sanu got scared.

Another time, he was asked to sing at a show connected to a gangster named Abu Salem.

The police told him not to go and said he could be arrested, but he went anyway after asking for security.

He sang and came back safely.

Kumar Sanu explained that in those days, powerful people paid for many movies, so singers and actors often had to do what they asked.
