Celebrated singer Rekha Bhardwaj, known for her soulful voice and impeccable sense of musicality, was left visibly disappointed during her recent live performance in Bhopal when an unexpected and ill-timed burst of fireworks disrupted the atmosphere.
The acclaimed artist was in the middle of delivering one of her mesmerizing renditions when organizers set off a series of loud fireworks — an act that Bhardwaj felt clashed with the tone of her music. She didn’t hold back her reaction, expressing her frustration candidly on stage, saying,
“Yeh patakkhe bahot unmusical hai. Bahot galat waqt pe gaye hai.”
(Hindi for “These fireworks are very unmusical. They went off at a completely wrong time.”)
Her comment quickly resonated with fans both at the venue and online, with many criticizing the lack of coordination and sensitivity from the event organizers. For an artist known for her nuanced, deeply emotive performances, such an interruption was not just inconvenient—it was antithetical to the spirit of her art.Concert
