Singer Benny Dayal on Friday revealed that he was injured when a drone hit the back of his head during a live performance on Thursday in Chennai. A video of the incident that took place at VIT Chennai went viral on social media. In the video, the drone that was capturing the concert can be seen hitting the singer in the middle of his performance.

Taking to his Instagram, the Badtameez Dil singer posted a video sharing the details of the incident. He shared the drone hit his head and also bruised his fingers.

He said, “The drone’s fans hit the back of my head and bruised it a little bit. Two of my fingers got completely bruised. But that’s all fine. I will recover from this much faster, thanks to all your love and my parents’ prayers.”

Sharing his thoughts about how such incidents can be avoided in the future, Benny urged other artistes to add a clause in their contracts asking event organizers to rope in professional drone operators.

He said, “I just want to express three things. First, all artistes, hereon, make sure you have a clause in your technical rider saying that the drone cannot come that close to any artiste while they are performing because your movement and their movement cannot be coordinated unless and until you have a person, who is specifically working with you on drones.”

Addressing show organizers and drone operators, he said, “All colleges, companies, show or event organizers, please get a certified drone operator because it’s very dangerous. The person should be certified to operate a drone. For most drone operators, I just want to tell you one thing, we are artistes. We are just singing on stage. We are not Vijay or Ajith or Salman Khan or Prabhas or some action film hero. You don’t have to do all those stunts. Just do a regular show. We just want the show to look nice. The drones shouldn’t come so close and hurt the artistes.”
