Monali Thakur Abruptly Stops Concert For Poor Event Management: ‘Useless, Unethical’
Singer Monali Thakur has issued an apology to her fans following the abrupt cancellation of her show in Varanasi, citing poor event management as the cause. In a video shared by Dalimss News on Instagram, the singer expressed her disappointment with the organisers, labelling them “useless, unethical, and irresponsible.”
Monali, known for her hit songs such as Moh Moh Ke Dhaage and Sawar Loon, voiced her frustration over the lack of adequate infrastructure and safety measures at the event. “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. I can’t explain what they have done to the stage just so they can steal money,” she said in the video.
The singer further elaborated on the risks posed by the poorly managed event setup. “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. We were trying because I am answerable to you all, and you come for me, right? So, you will hold me accountable for all of this,” she added.
Monali concluded her statement by expressing hope for a better future, saying, “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. I sincerely apologise that we have to shut down this show, but I am going to come back for sure. And I hope I can give you a much better event than this. So, forgive us.”
Fans Rally in Support
Fans flooded the comments section with support for the singer, lauding her for standing up against mismanagement. One user wrote, “She is right; live performances can lead to injuries if safety isn’t prioritised.” Another commented, “I genuinely praise her for not letting her standard down! I love her attitude and genuineness.”
Some fans pointed out that poor event management often deters prominent artists from performing in smaller cities. “This is the reason big artists don’t want to come to such a place,” an Instagram user remarked.
Despite the setback, Monali’s commitment to her fans remains unwavering. Known for her versatile discography, the singer promised to return with a better event, ensuring a memorable experience for her audience.
