On camera: Singer Benny Dayal injured after getting hit by drone at college fest in Chennai

Singer Benny Dayal was hit by a drone camera that was filming him during a live performance in Chennai on Friday. The singer has opened up about the incident on social media, sharing the video he wrote, 'Special announcement to all artists concerning drone operators. Kindly Listen!.'

In the video, He said that the drone struck his head accidentally during the live stage performance and also left him with some bruises on his fingers.

'The drone fans, they hit and bruised the back of my head a little bit. Two of my fingers got completely bruised. But that’s all fine. I think I am going to recover from this much faster. Thanks to all for love and prayers,' the singer said.

He continued, 'I just want to express three things. All artists should make sure they have a clause that the drone cannot come close to them while they are performing as their movement cannot be coordinated. You need a person with you who is specifically working on drones.'

Asking the event organisers to have certified drone operators, he concluded by saying, 'Please all colleges, companies, show or event organisers, get a certified drone operator because it’s very dangerous. The person should be certified to operate a drone. We are artists. We are just singing on stage. We are not Vijay or Ajay or Salman Khan or Prabhas or some action hero. You don’t have to do all these stunts. Just do a regular show. We just want to look nice. The drones shouldn’t come so close to artists during a live performance.'

The videos from the event ao the actor have surfaced online. In the video after the drone hit him the singer is seen on his knees, covering his head with both hands.
