Alka Yagnik reacts to Osama bin Laden being her fan: Is it my fault?

Singer Alka Yagnik, who has given Hindi cinema some of its most melodious songs, has fans across the globe. Among her many admirers was the late Osama bin Laden, the world’s most dreaded terrorist and former leader of al Qaeda. In an interview with film producer Anu Ranjan, which dates back six years, Yagnik reacted to Osama bin Laden being her fan. A clip of the interview is now viral on social media.

During the interaction, Yagnik was told that when the CIA raided the terrorist's hideout in Abbottabad in 2011, they reportedly found several recordings of her songs, among other Bollywood music by Udit Narayan and Kumar Sanu.

Reacting to the information, the singer said, "Is it my fault? Osama bin Laden jo bhi hai jaisa bhi hai, uske andar ek chota sa kalakaar hoga kahin... (There might be an artiste inside him, no matter what he did). Pasand hai toh phir, accha hai na (It's good that he liked my songs, right)?"
