Monali Thakur abruptly ends Varanasi concert; slams organisers for mismanagement, calls them “unethical and irresponsible”
In a video shared by paparazzo Viral Bhayani on Instagram, Monali is seen addressing the audience. “I can’t explain what they have done to the stage just so they can steal money,” she said, adding, “I am disheartened that my team and I were so excited to perform here.”
Monali Calls for Accountability
Monali highlighted that despite repeated warnings about the unsafe infrastructure, the organisers failed to address the issues. “Time and again, I’ve said that I could injure my ankle here. My dancers have been telling me to calm down, but everything was a mess,” she stated. Emphasising her commitment to her fans, Monali remarked, “You come for me, right? So, you will hold me accountable for all of this.”
The singer did not shy away from directly criticising the organisers. “I hope I grow so big that I can take all the responsibility myself and never have to rely on any Tom, Dick, and Harry who are such a useless, unethical, and irresponsible, to begin with,” she said.
An Apology and a Promise to Return
Before leaving the stage, Monali sincerely apologised to the audience and promised a better show in the future. “I sincerely apologise that we have to shut down this show, but I am going to come back for sure,” she assured.
Diljit Dosanjh’s Similar Stance on Live Show Infrastructure
Monali’s decision to address mismanagement echoes sentiments recently voiced by singer Diljit Dosanjh. During a live performance, Diljit criticised India’s inadequate infrastructure for concerts, declaring, “Till this happens, I won’t do shows in India, that’s for sure.”
Both incidents highlight the pressing need for improved event management and infrastructure to support live performances and ensure safety and quality for artists and audiences alike.
