Chandigarh: Punjabi singer Sunanda Sharma has made an emotional appeal after her song 'Jogi' was restored on YouTube following a copyright dispute that temporarily removed it from the platform. The singer expressed disappointment over what she described as an attempt to obstruct her work through false copyright claims and called for greater support for women striving to build independent careers.
In a heartfelt video message, Sunanda said that women often have to overcome numerous social and personal challenges to pursue their dreams, and such actions only create unnecessary hurdles in their journey. She urged those allegedly behind fake copyright complaints to encourage hardworking artists instead of discouraging them.
The singer said that when an artist's work is targeted unfairly, the emotional impact extends beyond the individual. According to her, such incidents affect an entire support system, including family members, team members and everyone who contributes to the artist's success.
Sunanda also appealed to the music industry to promote a healthier environment where talent can flourish without fear of harassment or misuse of legal mechanisms. She stressed that artists should be allowed to focus on their creativity rather than defending themselves against false claims.
The controversy began after 'Jogi', released under Sunanda Sharma's own music label, was taken down from YouTube following a copyright complaint. The singer maintained that the complaint was based on fabricated documents and asserted that all necessary legal agreements for the song had been properly executed.
Determined to restore her work, Sunanda approached authorities and remained in continuous communication with YouTube while pursuing the matter through legal channels. After the platform reinstated the song, she thanked her supporters and encouraged fans to continue showing love for the track.
The singer also used the occasion to advise aspiring artists to ensure every professional agreement is backed by proper documentation, calling it an important lesson she learned through the experience.
Her emotional statement has received widespread attention on social media, with many fans and members of the Punjabi entertainment industry expressing solidarity and praising her resilience. Supporters have described her message as an important reminder of the challenges faced by women in the entertainment industry and the need to create a fair and supportive environment for emerging talent.
