Singer Mika Singh, in an interview with Shubhankar Mishra, questioned why Ayushmann Khurrana was given Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer over Sonu Nigam. In 2013, Ayushmann won the award for 'Pani Da Rang' over Sonu's 'Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin'. Mika said, "I don't understand if awards are sold or bought...But why to call someone just to humiliate them?"
