Vishal's post crticising a ‘basic-to-bad’ singer
Without naming anyone, Vishal 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, and that sadly, systems 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.’"
Reddit thinks Vishal is referring to Jasleen Royal
The post quickly gained attention, with Reddit users speculating that Vishal was referring to Jasleen Royal, who recently performed at Coldplay's Mumbai concert. One comment read, "Seems like he is referring to Jasleen Royal's performance during Coldplay’s concert in Mumbai." Another user wrote, "It's harsh, but I agree. Clips I've seen of Jasleen are quite embarrassing, to be honest." A third comment added, "I mean, come on, Shreya was in the crowd, and she would have been perfect for the performance—or even Sunidhi. Compared to Elyana, Jasleen seemed so nervous, and her voice was shaky and even broke while singing. It doesn't reflect well on the reputation either."
