Anthem should not be played in halls; will stand for Pak's: Nigam

Entertainment, Pollywood

Mumbai: Wading into the ongoing debate over playing the national anthem in public places, singer Sonu Nigam today said while he honoured every country's anthem, he also believed theatres and restaurants were not the place for it.

Sonu said the national anthem of any country should be respected and be given the same honour that people bestow on their own anthem. "If the national anthem of Pakistan is played and all Pakistanis are standing, I will also stand out of respect for that country and those people," he said.
