Vishal Dadlani recently criticised a basic-to-bad singer on Instagram, calling it ’embarrassing’ when someone ‘can’t really sing’ before a large audience. Though he didn’t name anyone, fans speculated his comments targeted Jasleen Royal, who opened for Coldplay in Mumbai.
According to a report published in Indian Express, Vishal’s Instagram story is no longer on his account, but it was shared on Reddit, where many people shared their opinions.

In his post, Vishal had written, “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, systemds 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.”
Jasleen had shared videos of her performance with Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin on Instagram. Take a look:

Reddit users quickly speculated about the post, with many thinking it was about Jasleen Royal. One user said, “Seems like he is referring to Jasleen Royal’s performance during Coldplay’s concert in Mumbai.”
Many celebrities, like Shreya Ghoshal, Suhana Khan, Vijay Varma, Papon, and Kusha Kapila, attended the Coldplay concert. The band will perform in Mumbai again on Tuesday and in Ahmedabad on January 26.
