SHOCKING: Shilpa Raos mic switched off TWICE at Bollywood Music Project; HEARTBROKEN singer says, Woh nahin gaane de rahe as angry fans boo organizers (FIRST-HAND account)

The tenth edition of the Bollywood Music Project took place on October 24 at Mumbais Jio World Gardens and drew a massive crowd. The star-studded line-up included Neeraj Shridhar, Roop Kumar Rathod, Anu Malik, Euphoria, Hariharan, Shilpa Rao, Himesh Reshammiya and several others. Shilpa Raos performance began on a rocking note, but in a shocking turn of events, her microphone was switched off and her performance was abruptly cut short, seemingly because the event was running behind schedule. What followed left the singer visibly upset and the audience furious. Bollywood Hungama was present at the concert and brings you a detailed account of how the incident unfolded. Bollywood Music Project featured two stages the main stage and a smaller second stage, positioned to its left. The arrangement was simple: an artist or group would perform on the main stage, following which the performers on the second stage would take over. Once their act concluded, the next artist would appear on the main stage. However, the event was running behind schedule. Shilpa Raos set was originally scheduled from 7:45 pm to 8:15 pm, but she arrived on stage only at around 8:30 pm. She began with a rocking performance of 'Tose Naina Lage' (Anwar; 2007), instantly setting the mood. However, towards the end of the song, her microphone suddenly stopped working. She gestured to the backstage team to provide her with a functioning microphone, and a crew member quickly rushed to her aid. Singer #ShilpaRao sings 'Tose Naina Lage' from #Anwar as soon as she comes on stage during Bollywood Music Project...fans go crazy @bmp_live @shilparao11 https://t.co/OsBAKXp2Nt Fenil Seta (@fenil_seta) October 25, 2026 Shilpa Rao then told the cheering audience, I don't need a mic. You guys are my voice! Her remark sent the crowd into a frenzy. She also revealed that her mother was present at the venue and that it was her birthday. The audience immediately began singing 'Happy Birthday To You', making for a heartwarming moment. Shilpa continued her performance with 'Tere Hawaale' (Laal Singh Chaddha; 2022), the title track of Kalank (2019), 'Khuda Jaane' (Bachna Ae Haseeno; 2008) and 'Woh Ajnabee' (The Train; 2007). The Rish also joined her on stage to perform 'Barbaad' from Saiyaara (2025). Shilpa Rao then sang 'Chuttamalle' from Devara (2024). After finishing the song, she was preparing to perform her next track when, without warning, the lights on the main stage went off. Her microphone was also switched off. At exactly the same moment, the second stage came alive and Kutle Khan began his performance. It took the audience a few seconds to comprehend what had just happened. Shilpa Raos performance had effectively been brought to an abrupt end. Although the main stage was plunged into darkness, one could see that the singer appeared visibly shocked, angry and distraught by the sudden turn of events. #ShilpaRao's performance cut short by Bollywood Music Project team to give way for Kutle Khan's performance. Angry crowd chants 'Shilpa Shilpa'. @bmp_live @shilparao11 https://t.co/KMs6EiYEm9 Fenil Seta (@fenil_seta) October 25, 2026 The audience, meanwhile, was furious. Fans began loudly chanting Shilpa, Shilpa, demanding that the singer be allowed to continue. Amid the commotion, Shilpa Raos microphone was switched back on. She stepped forward, and a spotlight was directed at her. Kutle Khan, meanwhile, continued performing on the adjacent stage. Addressing him, Shilpa said, Kutle ji, main ek line bol ke nikal jaungi, theek hai? Aap bahut accha gaa rahe ho. Aap bahut sahi gaa rahe ho. As the crowd continued chanting her name, Shilpa addressed her fans, saying, I just wanted to say bye. I cant leave without saying bye. Woh nahin gaane de rahe. Her remark prompted loud boos from the audience. After her performance was forcefully cut short at Bollywood Music Project, #ShilpaRao allowed to say bye to fans. But even her goodbye message is cut short while Kutle Khan probably was cued to keep singing. One could see @shilparao11 feeling distraught and helpless. @bmp_live https://t.co/hMnL34k1lI Fenil Seta (@fenil_seta) October 25, 2026 Shilpa continued, But Ill say one thing. You guys made 15-20 minutes of my performance amazing. After a long time, I have performed in Mumbai. However, before she could complete her remarks, her microphone was switched off yet again, even as Kutle Khans performance continued on the second stage. A visibly helpless Shilpa Rao could do little at this point. She made a heart sign with her hands, blew a flying kiss towards her fans and walked off the stage. The audience, however, refused to stop chanting Shilpa, Shilpa. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shilpa Rao (@shilparao) Following the concert, Shilpa Rao took to Instagram to express her heartbreak over the incident. In an emotional statement, she wrote, Mumbai, a little piece of my heart broke tonight. It hurts deeply to have something so beautiful taken away from us like this. But even when the music stopped, you did not. The way you kept calling my name, the love in your voices. I could feel it all. Our story tonight was left unfinished. I promise, I will come back I love you, Mumbai. Forever and ever. Also Read: Amit Trivedi recalls how Shilpa Rao introduced him to Anurag Kashyap: I never saw myself as a music director

Kartik Aaryans Captain India to explore Yemen rescue mission against the backdrop of Houthi conflict

Kartik Aaryans upcoming aviation drama Captain India, directed by Shimit Amin, is reportedly set against the backdrop of the conflict in Yemen. Inspired by a real-life humanitarian evacuation mission, the film will mark Kartiks first time playing a pilot.

A source familiar with the project shared details about the films inspiration, stating, Captain India is inspired from Indias one of the toughest rescue missions in the war torn country Yemen in 2015s, where the nation rescued not only our own citizens but people from across the globe. Kartik will be seen leading worlds one of the most impossible rescue missions in the actioner. The film will see Kartik take on a role centred on a high-risk humanitarian operation, marking a new addition to his filmography.

Kriti Kharbanda shares car selfie with road safety message: Peeche wali seat pe bhi seatbelt zaroori hai

Kriti Kharbanda recently used social media to draw attention to an important road safety measure, reminding people that wearing a seatbelt is equally necessary for passengers travelling in the back seat of a car. Sharing a selfie from inside a vehicle, Kriti wrote, Peeche wali seat pe bhi seatbelt zaroori hai, highlighting the need to follow basic safety precautions regardless of where one is seated. While seatbelts are often associated with drivers and front-seat passengers, rear-seat occupants are also at risk of injuries in the event of sudden braking or a road accident. Wearing a seatbelt can help reduce the risk of serious injuries during a collision. Through her post, Kriti reiterated a simple but important message: road safety should remain a priority for everyone travelling in a vehicle. The actor also added a playful touch to her post by mentioning that her makeup was on point. The casual selfie brought together a personal moment and a reminder about responsible travel, drawing attention to a precaution that is sometimes overlooked by passengers in the back seat. Kriti's message serves as a reminder that safety measures should not be ignored for the sake of convenience, even when travelling short distances. Whether seated in the front or the rear, passengers need to make seatbelts a part of every car journey. With her straightforward message, the actor highlighted the importance of building safer travel habits. Her post reinforces the idea that seatbelts are not limited to a particular seat but are an essential safety measure for everyone inside a moving vehicle.
