Monali Thakur Criticises Event Organisers

In a now-viral video, the singer can be heard saying, “I am disheartened that my team and I were so excited to perform here. Let’s not talk about the infrastructure and its condition, as that is the management’s responsibility. 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 expressed her anger with the organisers’ lack of preparedness by saying, “I could have injured myself while performing on stage with my dancers.” To the event planners, Monali Thakur admonished them for being “irresponsible and unethical.”
