Haryanvi singer Masoom Sharma is in the news after some of his popular songs were banned on YouTube. The Haryana government has taken action against songs that promote gun culture. Many of Masoom Sharma’s hit tracks, such as “Tuition Badmashi Ka,” “60 Mukadme,” and “Khatola,” have been removed from the platform. This has left the singer upset, and he has expressed his frustration on social media.
Masoom Sharma’s Songs Banned Controversy
During a live session, Masoom Sharma said that if the government does not want such songs to be created, he supports the decision. However, he believes that the action should be taken fairly against all artists, not just him. He pointed out that thousands of similar songs are available on YouTube, but only his songs have been targeted. According to him, if this continues, the Haryanvi music industry will suffer, and youngsters will start listening to Punjabi music instead.

Masoom Sharma also accused a high-ranking official in the Haryana government of being behind this selective action. He claimed that this person does not want Haryanvi artists to succeed and is targeting him personally. He mentioned that other artists like Narendra Bhagwana and Ankit Balyan also had one song removed, but most of the bans were on his hit songs, which had over 100 million views.
The singer further questioned why only his songs were labeled as promoting “badmashi” (rowdy behavior), while others continue to create vulgar content in the name of folk music. He stated that if his songs are influencing the youth negatively, then songs that objectify women should also be banned.
Masoom Sharma highlighted how the Haryanvi music industry has grown significantly over the past decade. Earlier, people in Haryana used to listen mostly to Punjabi songs, which also promote gun culture. But now, Haryanvi artists have worked hard to establish their music industry. If such bans continue, young listeners may return to Punjabi songs, and the local industry may suffer.
The singer also spoke about the economic impact of the ban. He explained that the Haryanvi music industry provides employment to many people, including camera crews, stuntmen, spot boys, and light technicians. During a music video shoot, over 100 people get work and earn daily wages. If the industry is affected, these workers will lose their income. Masoom Sharma questioned whether the government would provide jobs to these people if music production is reduced due to such restrictions.
In the past, Masoom Sharma and his family have received threats. Two years ago, he received phone calls threatening his life. A year ago, armed men entered his brother’s house, misbehaved with him, and even fired shots in the air. The police registered a case against more than 50 people, including a man named Keher Kharkiya from Bhiwani district.

The singer concluded by saying that he is ready to cooperate with the government if the rules are applied fairly. He is even open to shifting his music style towards devotional songs if needed. However, he urged officials to ensure that all songs promoting negative content, not just his, should be banned equally.
