Jasleen Royal Releases Documentary Highlighting Her Experience at Coldplay’s India Concert
Jasleen Royal has unveiled a mini-documentary on her YouTube channel, featuring candid behind-the-scenes moments from her role as the opening act for Coldplay’s much-anticipated concert in Mumbai.
In the documentary, Jasleen reflects on the significant backlash she faced following her performance during the event earlier this January. Initially quiet in the face of online criticism, she has now chosen to address the situation more openly.
After her performance at Coldplay’s Mumbai concert, Jasleen was met with a wave of negative comments on social media, prompting a mix of emotions that she freely shares in her documentary. The film includes clips of her emotional journey as she confronts the harsh criticisms, shedding light on the toll they took on her mental well-being. In one poignant moment, she is seen expressing her distress, explaining the pressure she felt before taking the stage again.
Viewers get a glimpse of her performance from the first day, where she also acknowledges the harsh feedback, sharing screenshots of critical tweets. As preparation for her second performance continued at DY Patil Stadium, she appeared visibly anxious, particularly during a conversation with her team about the previous day’s technical issues. “Yaar, kal nahi hua tha. Kal problem kya hua tha? In-ears phat kyu rahe the mere?” she questioned, showcasing the stress she encountered.
As Jasleen navigated her feelings, she stated, “After a certain point, I can feel it like it’s time to go home. There’s a lot of pressure. I’ll die. I swear I’ll die,” highlighting her emotional vulnerability during this challenging period.
In an intimate moment, the documentary captures her embracing her parents for support, followed by encouragement from her team that energized her before stepping back into the spotlight. Addressing the audience on Day 2, she expressed her nervousness and gratitude, stating, “I have been nervous, it has been overwhelming. But thank you for keeping your faith in me. It means a lot.”
Further into the video, Jasleen articulated her concerns about public perception, saying, “I am nervous. I don’t want people to think that she didn’t deserve to be here… I’m just trying to put out my best effort.” She emphasized her journey as a self-taught musician striving to deliver a memorable experience for her audience, reinforcing her dedication and growth in music.
Prominent figures in the music industry, including Vishal Dadlani, Antara Mitra, and Sona Mohapatra, were among those who voiced their critiques regarding her performance, underscoring the intense scrutiny artists often face.
