Renowned music composer and singer Vishal Dadlani, known for his candid opinions, recently posted a cryptic Instagram story criticizing a “basic-to-bad” singer who performed on a large stage. Although the story was later deleted, it sparked speculation among fans that the remark was aimed at singer Jasleen Royal, who recently opened for Coldplay during their Mumbai concert.
In the now-deleted post, Vishal expressed disappointment, stating that placing such singers on a big platform only highlights their lack of skill. He wrote:
“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… How embarrassing! For the country, the artist, the public, as well as ‘the scene.'”

Fans Link the Comment to Jasleen Royal
The timing of the post led netizens to speculate that Vishal was referring to Jasleen Royal, who performed her song Kho Gaye Hum Kahan and shared the stage with Coldplay’s Chris Martin for We Pray. While Jasleen shared moments from her performance on Instagram, including her outfit and rehearsals, many social media users sided with Vishal.
Comments from fans included, “It’s harsh but I agree,” and “Jasleen’s performance was quite embarrassing. How does she even get gigs?”
Chris Martin’s Tribute to Shah Rukh Khan Steals the Show
While Jasleen’s performance stirred controversy, Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin won hearts by giving a shoutout to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan during the second concert night. Declaring “Shah Rukh Khan forever,” the gesture left fans cheering and created a magical moment during the event.
Coldplay’s much-anticipated concerts in Mumbai attracted numerous celebrities, including Shreya Ghoshal, Vijay Varma, and Suhana Khan. The band is set to perform again in Mumbai on January 21 and Ahmedabad on January 26.
