Did Vishal Dadlani Slam Jasleen Royal for Her Coldplay Performance?
Dadlani wrote on his Instagram Story: “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."
