Rekha Bhardwaj's concert interrupted by fireworks

Rekha Bhardwaj performed in Bhopal recently.

The clip started with Rekha singing Lambi Judai. As the fireworks went off, Rekha stopped singing and closed her eyes. A visibly annoyed Rekha then said, "Yeh patakkhe bohut unmusical hai. Bohut ghalat waqt pe gaye hai (These fireworks are very unmusical. They went off at a very wrong time)."

Even though she was annoyed, she waited patiently for the fireworks to stop as she held the mic near her mouth. As it continued to go off, Rekha smiled and looked around. She also said, "Bichare jo sogaye honge aas paas unko taqleef hogi (Those who fell asleep, they must be having a problem)."

Rekha promptly sings as fireworks stop

Reacting to the video, a fan said, "She was so calm and patient. Legend for a reason."
