'Survived six gunshots': Karan Aujla recalls surviving attacks in Canada, calls Punjab safest place
PTC News Desk: Punjabi singer Karan Aujla recently during an interview recalled surviving gunshots multiple times in Canada, while calling Punjab safest place and shed light on why he shifted to Dubai along with his family.
During his appearance on a podcast with Raj Shamani, the popular singer-rapper shared that initially he was called a coward for shifting to Dubai but he didn't pay a heed as he was more concerned about the safety of his family.
Karan Aujla shared that living in Canada is not safe nowadays especially for celebrities or influential businessmen."Canada is safe only for people who aren’t connected to this industry or don’t have a business that is publicly shown - about how much money they are making. That’s what I feel the problem is. Vahan par jo zyada dikh raha hai na, uske liye it’s a hard time (It’s hard for celebrities and known personalities to survive there)," he said.
The Punjabi singer recalled the gunshots incidents at his residence in Canada and explained that how bullets were fired at him in extortion case and he feared for the safety of his wife and other family members.
Aujla said, "I was one of the very first cases from the industry in Canada whose house got shot at in 2019. The first time gunshots were fired at my house was twice in a row. It was an extortion case. They said, ‘Paise dedo, show nahi lagaane denge, aap Punjab nahi aasakte, India nahi aasakte‘ (They demanded money to let me do a show there, or I could return to India). I didn’t do that, so this happened.”
Aujla added that the security in Canada is doing their job, but the gangsters know every trick to escape the law, including using a "stolen car" or hiring someone to perform the task.
The singer said he feels more at ease now, knowing that his family is safe in Dubai. "I know that my wife is safe, I will have children in the future. They will also be safe. Why should I stress over all this, and why would I get involved in all this? I have so many responsibilities, have to take care of my family. Why should I give anyone a chance to ruin my happy life?” he highlighted.
"The one who is getting it done is sitting somewhere else. You might never even see that person. So, I couldn’t find a solution for this,” he said.
He further shared that the houses in Canada are built with wood which means tha the bullets can easily pass through the walls and injure anyone. “When I finally felt that everything was going fine, shots were fired again. Till now, it has happened six times with me – firing on me or my house. The worst part is that the houses in Canada are made of wood. The bullet just goes through, so there’s no safety, even being inside of your house,” he explained.
