Shubha Mudgal was shocked to find her performance at the Bhakti Sangeet Utsav being aired on DD Bharati without her permission. Irked at the infringement of performers' rights, Mudgal says, "I had performed at the Bhakti Sangeet Utsav in New Delhi on the invitation of Sahitya Kala Parishad on April 30. My clear understanding with Sahitya Kala Parishad was that I would be performing live at the festival, and no permissions were sought or granted for audio-video recording or telecasting on any channels."
