Controversy In March 2024, while Gift and his band crew was performing on St. Peter's College, Kolenchery, the principal snatched mic and announced "there was technical error in the show". She later said, the band was allowed to perform only because it was promised Gift would be the only one singing while chorus was singing with him. Following this, Gift left the stage and the next day, the students of the college were protesting in front of principal's cabin.
