Playback singer Monali Thakur’s recent concert in Varanasi was marred by mismanagement. He had to end the show abruptly due to several issues, including an improperly set-up stage that risked an ankle injury. He apologized to the audience and promised to organize future events with proper facilities.

Monali Thakur, known for hit songs like Sawar Loon and Cham Cham, strongly criticized the event organizers and called them “irresponsible and immoral”. Expressing her disappointment, she pointed out that she could have injured herself while performing on stage with her dancers. Apologizing to her fans for the sudden ending, Monali assured of a better event.

In a video, the singer can be heard saying, “I am disappointed that I and my team were very excited to perform here. Let’s not talk about the infrastructure and its condition, because that is the responsibility of the management.” Over and over again, I said I might hurt my ankle. My dancers were telling me to calm down, but everything was a mess.”

She added, “We’ve been working so hard because I’m accountable to all of you, and you’ve come through for me, right? So, you’re going to hold me accountable for all of this. I hope I grow up to be that I can take all the responsibility.” I will never trust a Tom, Dick and Harry who are so wasteful, unethical and irresponsible. I sincerely apologize that we had to close this show, but I will definitely be back. I can give you something even better and an even bigger event, so please forgive us.”

Monali Thakur is settled in Switzerland. She frequently travels to India for her shows and singing commitments.
