Jasmine Sandlas, the voice behind hit songs like "Dhurandhar," recently stopped her Delhi concert midway after noticing some men allegedly harassing women in the audience. The incident occurred at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, where Sandlas was performing as part of her ongoing tour.
A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, showing Sandlas addressing the security team directly. In the video, Sandlas can be heard saying, "Security, can you please remove these two guys as they are troubling these women... I will not perform if women don't feel safe in my concert". She firmly stated that creating a safe and respectful environment for women was non-negotiable and took precedence over the show continuing. "I won't sing otherwise," she added.
The security personnel responded swiftly, removing the men from the venue as the audience cheered. Sandlas, visibly disturbed by the incident, made it clear she would not continue until action was taken. She was performing her popular tracks, including "Dhurandhar" and "Shararat," before she paused the show.
The video has received widespread praise online, with many commending the singer for prioritizing the safety of her fans. Social media users have lauded Sandlas's actions, with some even calling her a 'real-life Dhurandhar'. Her decisive action has resonated with many, highlighting the importance of creating safe spaces for women at public events.
This incident is not the first time Sandlas has used her platform to speak out on social issues. She has been a vocal advocate for women's rights and has often used her music to address issues of gender inequality. Sandlas's action at the Delhi concert underscores her commitment to creating a positive and respectful environment for her fans, and serves as a reminder of the importance of bystander intervention in preventing harassment.
