However, the event took an unexpected turn when the crowd split into two groups – the organizers and the other siding with those who couldn’t secure the artists for the show who were seated in the audience. “They had planned to make the show a flop and came fully prepared. When the show started, antis began throwing eggs onto the stage until it was completely covered. The situation got so bad that the musician could no longer play their instruments.” she said.

The singer further revealed that there were a few vegetarian artists on stage who couldn’t tolerate the nuisance at all and immediately exited. All the artists then waited in the green room and began praying, hoping that the matter would be resolved quickly. She later revealed that Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan and music composer duo Kalyanji Anandji were sent on stage to resolve the matter.
The “Ek Do Teen” singer said, “Because they are such great showmen, they somehow controlled the public and we didn’t give up and continued the show.
