Blames organisers
She apologized to the audience, saying, “I am disappointed that my team and I were so excited to perform here. Let’s not even 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.”
The singer also emphasized that the stage setting presented several risks, and he may have suffered serious injuries if he performed under those conditions. “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 didn’t mince words as she addressed the organizers, saying that they were “useless, unethical, and irresponsible.” Despite all this, she ended her speech with an apology and a promise to return for a better-organised show. “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 said.
Here’s what netizens says
The incident went viral on social media, as fans praised Monali for standing her ground and prioritizing safety. “She is right. Live performances should be able to meet the bare minimum of safety standards to avoid injuries,” posted one user.
One user wrote, “People blaming her just remember the organizers at Kolkata when KK was performing and he suffered a heart attack due to no proper ventilation and heat.”
Another person commented, “I really admire her for not compromising her standards. Her genuineness and concern for her fans are remarkable.
