Monali Thakur, known for hits like Sawar Loon and Zara Zara Touch Me, was rushed to the hospital after experiencing breathlessness during her performance at the Dinhata festival in Bihar. While performing, she appeared distressed and abruptly stopped the concert. Her team quickly intervened, seeking medical help, and Monali was taken to Dinhata Sub-District Hospital in Cooch Behar, where she is currently receiving treatment. Further details on her condition are awaited.
Earlier this month, Monali found herself in the midst of a controversy after walking off stage during her Varanasi concert on December 22. She had performed for just 45 minutes before exiting, citing dissatisfaction with the stage setup and accusing the event organizers of mismanagement. In a statement on Instagram, she shared her frustration about the poor conditions and the mistreatment her team faced, including “severe negligence” regarding safety.
Monali also addressed the misuse of laws meant to protect against sexual harassment, condemning how they were weaponized by the organizers for personal reasons. She expressed concern that such behavior undermines the credibility of those truly fighting for justice.
Additionally, Monali criticized the treatment of vendors and those working behind the scenes, calling for better treatment and fairness. She emphasized that such conduct should never be tolerated.
