Earlier this month, Monali Thakur hit headlines after she walked off the stage midway during her performance in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
Later, Monali, addressing the harassment accusations by the event management team against her and her crew, clarified how the management mistreated the vendors and exploited them.
“It is absolutely unacceptable to treat vendors poorly, cheat them of their hard-earned money, or con them in any way.
“Disrespecting and harassing those working behind the scenes- whether they are backstage crew, artist managers, or artist coordinators-is not the way forward,” she wrote in her Instagram post.
She had also attached an apology letter from the organisers along with her note.
Monali Thakur is known for hit Hindi songs like Sawar Loon, Zara Zara Touch Me, Chham Chham and more. She has also acted in Nagesh Kukunoor-directed film Lakshmi in the titular role.
