Playback singer Monali Thakur’s recent concert in Varanasi took an unexpected turn when mismanagement led her to abruptly end the show. The stage, which was poorly set up, posed a potential risk of injury, including the threat of an ankle sprain. Monali, visibly disappointed, apologised to the concertgoers for the sudden cancellation and promised that her next event would be much better, with proper amenities and infrastructure in place. “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,” she told the crowd. ‘We Lack Live Show Infrastructure’: Diljit Dosanjh Announces He Won’t Perform in India Unless Situation Improves During His Chandigarh Show (Watch Viral Video).
