Read More Pinky Dhaliwal, the owner of the Mad4Music label, has been arrested by Punjab Police (Mataur Police Station) following an FIR lodged against him. His arrest was initiated after Raj Lali Gill, Chairperson of the Punjab State Commission for Women, took suo motu action in response to serious allegations made by Punjabi singer Sunanda Sharma. Sunanda Sharma has accused Pinky Dhaliwal of exploitation, claiming that he withheld her payments for years, restricted her with contractual obligations, and kept her under constant pressure.



In a bold statement shared on her official Instagram account, Sunanda Sharma asserted her status as an independent artist, shutting down claims by certain individuals or entities falsely asserting exclusive rights over her professional engagements. “These claims are completely false, fraudulent, unauthorised, and legally baseless," she declared, making it clear that she won’t tolerate any misrepresentation. She also warned that legal action would be taken against anyone attempting to interfere with her career or falsely associating themselves with her work.

“I wish to clarify that I am an independent artist and I have not granted any individual or entity exclusive rights over my professional assignments, performances, or collaborations. Any person, company, or organisation engaging with such individuals/entities is doing so at their own risk and peril. I shall not be responsible for any dealings undertaken through unauthorised persons or entities," Sunanda’s statement read.

“Further, I request anyone who has been approached by such individuals/entities or has any information regarding such misrepresentation to immediately report the same to me at the below mentioned email address. Legal action will be taken against anyone found misrepresenting their association with me or attempting to interfere with my professional engagements," it further read. .

She urged the Punjab Chief Minister to protect her rights as a citizen, stating, “As a young artist, I can achieve greater success and bring a good name for this great state of Punjab. Let not a few greedy and lowly people, who have no ethics and no respect for law, come in the way of progress of the state and its people," she penned. Sunanda Sharma has carved a niche for herself in the Punjabi music industry with hit tracks like Mummy Nu Pasand, Patake, Jaani Tera Naa, Duji Vaar Pyar, and Morni.
