Singer and music composer Kailash Kher says getting Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha on board to perform at Justin Bieber's maiden concert in India sends a wrong message internationally.

Kailash stated: I read somewhere that a Canadian singer Justin Bieber is coming to India, and actress Sonakshi will perform at the gig. The news was cute, but quite a lie.

It doesn't give a good message internationally. "They will think that Sonakshi must be a big singer in India. And then she will get concert offers from Canada, and then probably Sonakshi will laugh them off saying 'I am not a singer but an actor'."

Kailash added: "Whenever any singer from the West comes to India, we get an actor on board to match their level. We don't get singer for another singer, but actor... Event managers and producers of the entertainment industry are so scared."

Sonakshi will perform as one of the opening acts at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on May 10. "Live performances are thought to be more valuable around the world not actors, but not in India... Indians are very emotional and that is why sometimes they miss out logic while watching a live gig. "The organisers don't consider crowd's sensibilities, and only go for a popular face. Often actors just come and say 'It is nice to here'," the singer also said.

He added: "It is our choice. We can reduce our live tours, there is no need to keep a band and be more hero-type and work for films... I always wanted to do live music and to promote it through concerts. "If we keep on seeing shows by actors, it will be so sad because live musicians won't be able to survive," added the singer.
