I think I’ll be able to heal much faster than that.” Going to be. Thank you.” Love and prayers to all.”

He also gave three tips for live performers to ensure that they stay safe and such things don’t happen again. “I just want to convey three things. All artists must make sure they have a clause that the drone cannot come close to them when they are performing because their movement cannot be coordinated. You You need a person with you who is specifically working on drones.” Please all colleges, companies, show or event organizers get certified drone operators as it is very dangerous. The person should be certified to operate the drone,” he said in the video.

“We are artistes. We are just singing on stage. We are not Vijay or Ajay or Salman Khan or Prabhas or any action hero. You don’t need to do all these stunts. Just do a regular show. We just want to be seen ” Good. Drones should not come so close to artistes during live performances,” Mr Dayal concluded.
