**Pakistani rapper Talha Anjum has apologised after a video from his Nepal concert showed him holding an Indian flag. **

He clarified he did not wave it, but placed it on his shoulder after a fan handed it to him.

Anjum said, “For causing hurt and affecting emotions, I unconditionally apologise to the nation.”

The act sparked criticism and praise online, with some questioning his intentions amid tense India-Pakistan relations, while others defended it as a gesture of goodwill.

A legal notice was also served demanding a public apology.
