Popular singer Jasleen Royal has been receiving backlash from the audience upon her recent performance at the Coldplay concert in Mumbai. After Vishal Dadlani’s alleged criticism, playback singer Antara Mitra has also called out her performance. She shared a clip of Kaur from the concert and said that someone from the music industry should call it out. Here’s what happened in the controversy.
Antara Mitra Calls Out Jasleen Royal
On Friday, January 24, playback singer Antara Mitra took to her Instagram stories and shared a clip of Jasleen Royal singing at the Coldplay concert. She criticised the team’s decision to make Royal the country’s representative. She further wrote, “I am shamelessly calling this out! Because someone from the same field should! I have an iron gut so I am doing it! Please all you bigges out there make decisions of this level! My only request is please put music on top and then your number game,” along with a folded hand emoji.
Many Internet users have been calling out the ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ singer for the same as they were not happy with her performance. Famous singer Vishal Dadlani also took a dig at Jasleen Royal without directly taking her name in a now-deleted Instagram story.
He wrote, “I’m really sorry, but when you put a basic-to-bad singer in front of a large crowd on a large stage, all you’re doing is showing more people that the individual can’t really sing, and that sadly, systems within labels in India aren’t geared towards really promoting the best we have. I’ve just seen some clips, and my gosh… How embarrassing! For the Country, the artiste, the public, as well as “the scene.”
