Himesh Reshammiya had a conversation with Komal Nahta and revealed that he had a habit of storing songs and tunes in his bank even before he got a break with Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya (1998). He said, I have ready songs in my bank. When David Dhawan ji approached me for Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge (2000), we locked as many as 7 songs in just two hours. Chapter closed! I could even offer you 40 more songs and then you could take that many songs to people to get their feedback. However, it would only add to your confusion. He added, Similarly, in just one sitting, we finalized each and every song of Humraaz (2002) with Abbas bhai and Mustan bhai. Thats because I gave them their whole world and setting of the film through the songs. Himesh Reshammiya continued, When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I have to do is to compose a song. I get on a call with my lyric writer. As soon as we get a tune, I record it immediately and I send it to my sampled group and also to the lyricist. Aisa koi din hi nahin gaya mera jahan pe ek gaana nahin bana hain. At times, I have even created 3, 5, 8 and even 10 songs in a day. Daddy (Vipin Reshammiya) sikha ke gaye hain ki Everyday, ek gaana toh banna hi hain. Thanks to that habit, I have been able to have 10,000 songs in my discography and bank. He revealed, Many of these songs were made long back and used when the time was right. The songs of Sanam Teri Kasam (2016) were made in the 90s. The sitting for that film happened only in 2014. Yet, it sounded fresh as the arrangement was modern. We have a great mix in our team all our old musicians are there, while new people have also joined us.

The success of Netflixs Musafir Cafe has brought Vedika Pintos portrayal of Sudha into the spotlight. Her performance has struck a chord with viewers, further establishing her ability to bring layered, nuanced characters to life on screen. Hence, the anticipation surrounding her return to Sudha in the second season of Musafir Caf has been building. Speaking about stepping back into Sudhas world and revisiting the character, Vedika Pinto shared, I am both nervous and excited to find my way back to Sudha. There was a lot of work involved in building the character the first time around, from understanding where she came from to discovering the little personality traits and circumstantial nuances that made her who she is. But I also feel like I inherently understand her, and in some way, she has become a part of me. Im hoping that makes it easier to tap into her again, but I think Ill be better equipped to answer that once Im back on set and have had the chance to step into her shoes again. For Vedika, returning to Sudha is more than revisiting a role; it is an opportunity to reconnect with a character she has invested in emotionally and creatively. Her reflections offer a glimpse into the process of inhabiting a familiar character once again, balancing the comfort of knowing Sudha with the excitement of discovering new dimensions to her personality. As audiences look forward to seeing her reprise the role, Vedika continues to explore diverse opportunities across projects and genres. She will next also be seen and in an upcoming Dharma Productions film alongside Lakshya.

The tenth edition of the Bollywood Music Project, organized by Eva Live, 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 Rao was the second-last performer, while Himesh Reshammiya was the final artist to take the stage, and their performances were keenly awaited. However, the acts preceding them were equally entertaining and ensured that attendees had a memorable evening. Bollywood Hungama reached the venue just as Roop Kumar Rathod and his wife, fellow singer Sonali Rathod, took the stage. They instantly set the mood with a beautiful rendition of 'Tere Liye' from Veer-Zaara (2004). The original song was sung by Roop Kumar Rathod and the legendary Lata Mangeshkar. Sonali stepped into Lata's gigantic shoes, and she managed to impress the audience with her rendition. #RoopKumarRathod at his best...sings 'Maula Mere Maula' from Anwar at Bollywood Music Project 2026; joined by wife Sonali Rathod https://t.co/cIDGx8hZtE Fenil Seta (@fenil_seta) October 25, 2026 Roop Kumar Rathod then crooned another crowd favourite, 'Maula Mere Maula' from Anwar (2007). Sonali followed it up with another Lata Mangeshkar classic, 'Yaara Seeli Seeli', from Lekin (1991). Roop Kumar Rathod concluded his set with the romantic classic Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008) and the patriotic anthem 'Sandese Aate Hain' from Border (1997), which struck a chord with the audience. Anu Malik entertains with hilarious shayaris, 90s chartbusters and patriotic fervour The next performance on the main stage was that of Anu Malik and his team. The act began with Anu's youngest daughter, Ada Malik, dancing to some of her father's iconic compositions. Shahid Mallya came next and sang the title song of Main Hoon Na (2004), followed by another popular track from the film, 'Tumse Milke'. Anmol Malik then took over and performed 'Talli' from Ugly Aur Pagli (2008), 'Jungle Hai Aadhi Raat' from Biwi No 1 (1999) and 'Main Naagin' from Bajatey Raho (2013). Finally, Anu Malik made his grand entry and, as expected, brought his trademark energy, humour and spontaneity to the proceedings. Before beginning his performance, he entertained the crowd with a shayari: Soch ko badlo, sitaare badal jaayenge. Apni nazar ko badlo, nazaare badal jaayenge! The entertaining Anu Malik sings 'Julie Julie' at Bollywood Music Project 2026; asks crowd to join him @The_AnuMalik @bmp_live https://t.co/nyxvvvDBf4 Fenil Seta (@fenil_seta) October 25, 2026 Anu Malik announced that he would begin with a song that has found a new lease of life on Instagram Reels 'In The Night No Control' from Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi (1996). He followed it up with 'Julie Julie' from Jeete Hain Shaan Se (1987). Thereafter, he belted out one hit after another, including 'Jeene Ke Hai Chaar Din' from Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004), 'Humko Tumse Pyaar Hai' from Ishq (1997), the title track of No Entry (2005), 'Aaila Re Ladki Mast Mast Tu' from Jung (2000), and 'Tan Tana Tan Tan' and 'Oonchi Hai Building' from Judwaa (1997). He ended his set with 'Ek Garam Chai' from Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega (2000). Veteran singer Amit Kumar then made an appearance and entertained the audience with two songs from Imtihaan (1994) 'Dheere Dheere Chori Chori' and 'Is Tarah Aashiqui Ka'. He followed these with the evergreen 'Bade Achhe Lagte Hain' from Balika Badhu (1976) and 'Main Hoon Jhoom Jhoom Jhumroo' from Jhumroo (1961). Bollywood Music Project 2026: Anu Malik tells crowd DONT forget that I composed Sandese Aate Hai; then sings the Border song with Shahid Mallya, Amit Kumar, Anmol Malik @The_AnuMalik @bmp_live https://t.co/h6GzO4zGJn Fenil Seta (@fenil_seta) October 25, 2026 Anu Malik then called Ada Malik, Anmol Malik, Shahid Mallya and Amit Kumar together on stage. At this point, he referred to Roop Kumar Rathod's earlier rendition of 'Sandese Aate Hain' and reminded the audience that he was the composer of the iconic track. He told the crowd, Don't forget that I composed that song. I was asked by someone, 'Kya yeh gaana aapne banaya hai?'. I replied, 'Maine banaya hai'. That person suggested, 'Thoda gaa do'! He continued, Yeh gaana maine apne Hindustan ke liye banaya hai. Yeh gaana maine apne Indian Armed Forces ke liye banaya hai, who protect us day and night. It's the song that came out of my heart. Main baar baar kehta hoon naa aisa desh tha, na aisa desh hai aur na aisa desh hoga. East or West, India is the best! This was followed by Anu and his team singing the patriotic anthem. Palash Sen takes a dig at Bollywood; Hariharan mesmerizes with his evergreen classics Palash Sen then took centre stage, accompanied by his son Kinshuk Sen, Shalmali Kholgade, Vaishali Samant and Abhay Jodhpurkar. Palash began with 'Aapki Duaa', originally associated with the late singer KK. A recreated version of the song is part of Euphoria's new album, Dhoomsday. Bollywood Music Project 2026: Palash Sen sings in Marathi; joins Vaishali Samant in singing 'Kombdi Palali' from Jatra (2005); it was created as 'Chinki Chameli' in Agneepath (2012) @docpalash @vaishaliisamant @bmp_live https://t.co/tfes9TwKsC Fenil Seta (@fenil_seta) October 25, 2026 He also performed 'Tum Ho Meri Main Tumhara' and 'Kaise Bhulegi Mera Naam'. In between songs, Palash expressed his disappointment over how the Bollywood music industry never gave him a chance. However, he also claimed that he had no regrets about retaining ownership of his music. Speaking about his immensely popular song 'Maaeri', he said, I am glad I never gave away the rights to my song 'Maaeri'. Koi apni maa ko bhi nahi bechta! Palash saved this track for the end of his performance. In between, Vaishali Samant joined him on stage and, in a pleasant surprise, Palash sang the male portions of the Marathi chartbuster 'Kombdi Palali' from Jatra (2005). The song was famously recreated as 'Chikni Chameli' in Agneepath (2012). Hariharan and his son Akshay Hariharan then took the stage and performed songs like the title track of Roja (1992), 'Nahin Saamne' from Taal (1999), 'Baahon Ke Darmiyan' from Khamoshi (1996) and 'Chappa Chappa' from Maachis (1996).

Hariharan also sang 'Telephone Dhun Mein Hasne Wali' from Hindustani (1996) and the recently released 'Vande Mataram'.

The tenth edition of the Bollywood Music Project, organised by Eva Live, 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 Rao was the second-last performer, while Himesh Reshammiya was the final artist to take the stage. Bollywood Hungama earlier reported how Shilpa Rao's performance was abruptly cut short, leaving the audience furious. Thankfully, Himesh's epic act made up for the disappointment to some extent and ensured that the evening ended on an entertaining note. Himesh Reshammiya began on a rocking note with 'Tera Surroor' from his album Aap Kaa Surroor. He followed it up with 'Viraaniya' from Namastey London (2007), 'Tanhaiyan' from Aap Kaa Surroor The Movie (2007), 'Naam Hai Tera' from Aap Kaa Surroor and the title song of Tere Naam (2003). The crowd enthusiastically sang along, making it evident that Himesh's songs continue to enjoy a massive following. At this point, Himesh's wife, Sonia Kapoor, joined him on stage. She recited a poem, following which Himesh sang 'Main Jahaan Rahoon' from Namastey London. As he performed the romantic number, Himesh lovingly embraced Sonia and kissed her on the forehead. The adorable moment prompted several attendees to go Awwww! Bollywood Music Project 2026: @ayushmannk makes a surprise entry; crowd goes crazy. Joins #HimeshReshammiya as they promote #YehPremMolLiya @bmp_live https://t.co/qwcKDeH7DZ Fenil Seta (@fenil_seta) October 25, 2026 Singer Pragati Nagpal then came on stage to sing the female portions of the songs that followed. Himesh continued his musical extravaganza with 'Yahi Hota Pyaar' from Namastey London, 'Aashiqui Mein Teri' from 36 China Town (2006), 'Afsaana Banaaya Aapne' from the upcoming Gunmaaster G9, the title track of Aashiq Banaya Aapne (2005), 'Kheech Meri Photo' from Sanam Teri Kasam (2016), 'Hookah Bar' from Khiladi 786 (2012), 'Soniye' from Aksar (2006), and 'Ek Haseena Thi' and 'Tandoori Nights' from Karzzzz (2008). In between, he performed a foot-tapping medley comprising 'Jhalak Dikhla Ja' from Aksar, the title tracks of Sanam Teri Kasam and Humko Deewana Kar Gaye (2006), and 'Kitne Armaan' and 'Aye Meri Zohrajabeen' from Phir Hera Pheri (2006). Ayushmann Khurrana joins Himesh Reshammiya on stage; calls him Lord Himesh In one of the biggest surprises of the evening, Ayushmann Khurrana suddenly appeared on stage, much to the delight of the crowd. The actor joined Himesh Reshammiya to promote their upcoming film, Yeh Prem Mol Liya. EMBED # 2 https://x.com/fenil_seta/status/2114218163772789145 Ayushmann told the cheering audience, I am just overwhelmed seeing you guys. It is so beautiful. Maine ek baar Himesh sir ka concert dekha tha Indore mein. Or maybe it was Raipur. This is when my debut film Vicky Donor (2012) had just been released. This is the second time I am at a Himesh Reshammiya concert. And you guys are singing along. It's absolutely crazy and madness here. He then enthusiastically declared, Lord Himesh is with us! Ayushmann also spoke highly of the music of their upcoming film, saying, Yeh Prem Mol Liya is a Himesh Reshammiya musical. The tracks of the film are supremely hummable. The crowd, meanwhile, had another demand. Fans began insisting that Ayushmann sing his immensely popular song 'Pani Da Rang' from Vicky Donor. Himesh decided to have some fun and joked, Maine aaj tak 'Pani Da' nahin gaaya. Main bhi gaa lu? As expected, the crowd shouted, Yes, yes! However, Himesh ultimately let Ayushmann do the honours. Himesh, meanwhile, performed on the title song of Yeh Prem Mol Liya. Naak se gau ya khatarnaak se?: Himesh Reshammiya leaves fans in splits Himesh also entertained the audience with his trademark humour. During one of the performances, he proudly declared, Lip-sync ya Auto-Tune nahin hai mere performance mein! He then asked the crowd a hilarious question: Naak se gau ya khatarnaak se? The audience was left amused and confused, unsure which option to choose. Himesh, however, went ahead and sang in his much-loved nasal voice, much to the delight of his fans. #HimeshReshammiya sings 'Aye Meri Zohrajabeen' from #PhirHeraPheri at Bollywood Music Project 2026; fans can't control their excitement @bmp_live https://t.co/XX2Dmsv61T Fenil Seta (@fenil_seta) October 25, 2026 At another point, he revealed that he had plenty of songs in his repertoire but was unable to perform all of them due to time constraints. He added, Uske liye Capmania Tour mein aana padega! Himesh eventually returned to 'Jhalak Dikhla Ja', performing a longer version of the iconic track and sending the crowd into a frenzy. Himesh Reshammiya takes cheeky digs at organizers Towards the end of his performance, Himesh shot a selfie video with the massive crowd in the background for his social media handle. He then made a remark that caught everyone's attention. Himesh said, Main aap logon ke liye 24 ghante perform karna chahta hoon! Lekin hamare pyaare Bollywood Music Project waalon ne mujhe sirf thoda sa waqt diya hain! The remark prompted loud boos from the audience. Himesh continued, Kya karoon? If you guys want, main subah tak hilunga nahin! Even as his set was drawing to a close, Himesh seemed reluctant to leave the stage and wanted to entertain the audience with more songs. He then made another cheeky remark, saying, I will perform until they don't switch off my mic. Interestingly, that is precisely what happened. With the event having crossed its scheduled closing time of 10:00 pm, the organisers eventually switched off Himesh's microphone, bringing his performance to an end. Yet, Himesh continued speaking even after his microphone was switched off, hoping his voice would reach the fans. Sadly, his efforts were in vain. #HimeshReshammiya keeps talking to fans at Bollywood Music Project 2026 even as his mic was cut off by the organizers https://t.co/9Iy7KQHoFv Fenil Seta (@fenil_seta) October 25, 2026 His repeated remarks about being allotted limited time, particularly the reference to his microphone being switched off, were especially striking in light of what had happened with Shilpa Rao earlier in the evening. Whether or not the comments were intended as a dig at the organisers over that incident, they certainly added an unexpected layer of humour and drama to the proceedings. Nevertheless, Himesh Reshammiya ensured that the Bollywood Music Project ended on a high. With his infectious energy, memorable songs, hilarious one-liners and generous doses of nostalgia, the singer gave attendees a performance to remember and, more importantly, their money's worth.

The world of Ramayana unfolds through another musical offering, Mangal Rang, which brings Lord Rama and Maa Sita into focus through a series of beautiful visuals capturing their journey together. The song brings together striking landscapes, majestic palace settings and glimpses of the couples wedding, offering a look at the beauty and emotional depth of their relationship. Featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, the song is now available on the official YouTube channels of World of Ramayana and T-Series and streaming on all platforms. Released simultaneously across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, Mangal Rang brings the musical experience to audiences across languages. It moves through different moments in their journey, from the grandeur of the palace and the sacredness of their wedding to their life beyond Ayodhya. Beyond the scale of its settings, Mangal Rang also offers glimpses of the bond between Rama and Sita. Their wedding sequences capture the joy and sanctity of their union, while the visuals from their journey into Vanvas bring a different dimension to their relationship. The song brings together an accomplished musical collaboration, with A. R. Rahman composing the music and Dr. Kumar Vishwas penning the Hindi lyrics. Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal lend their voices to the Hindi version, while each language features its own vocalists and lyricist, bringing the songs emotional core to audiences across the country. The Tamil version features Abhay Jodhpurkar and Saindhavi, with lyrics by Karthik Netha. The Telugu version features Raghav Kaushik and Vaishali Samant, with lyrics by Rakendu Mouli. Armaan Malik and Bela Shende lend their voices to the Kannada version, with lyrics by Karthik Saragur, while the Malayalam version features Naresh Iyer and Amritha Rajan, with lyrics by Vinayak Sasikumar. Speaking about composing the music for Ramayana and bringing the love story of Rama and Sita to life through Mangal Rang, A. R. Rahman said, Ramayana is a story that has lived in the hearts of people for generations, and approaching it through music was a very special experience for me. There is a certain purity and tenderness in the relationship between Rama and Sita that I wanted the music to hold on to. With Mangal Rang, I hope listeners feel that warmth and devotion, and find something personal in the melody. Some stories don't need to be explained; they simply need to be felt. Speaking about lending his voice to Mangal Rang and being part of Ramayana, Arijit Singh said, Ramayana is not merely a story or an epic; it is a timeless reflection of life, our inner consciousness and the connection we share with everything around us. The melody of Mangal Rang, composed by A. R. Rahman sir, took me somewhere beyond words, into a space where love blossoms in its purest form. The sincerity and tenderness of the eternal relationship between Shri Ram and Mata Sita kept reminding me of the thread of love that connects us all, beyond everything that makes us seem different. Being part of this melody has been a deeply transformative experience, and I feel blessed to have been a part of a dream that Namit sir and his team are bringing to life. I hope this song reaches every listener with the same feeling of love, gratitude and devotion that I experienced while singing it. Speaking about singing for Mangal Rang and connecting with the love story of Rama and Sita in Ramayana, Shreya Ghoshal said, What makes Rama and Sita's love so beautiful is that it goes beyond the happiness of being together. There is faith, understanding and a quiet strength in their bond that makes it deeply moving. Singing Mangal Rang allowed me to connect with that tenderness, and I approached it with a lot of love in my heart. Being part of a story that means so much to so many people is something I feel truly grateful for. I hope the song brings listeners a sense of warmth and peace, and lets them experience the beauty of Rama and Sita's relationship in their own way. Speaking about being part of the musical journey of Ramayana with Mangal Rang, Abhay Jodhpurkar said, Ramayana is a story that has been a part of our lives and our cultural memory for generations. Being able to lend my voice to Mangal Rang was a deeply moving experience, especially because the song captures the love and togetherness between Rama and Sita. There is a certain sincerity in their relationship that makes it timeless, and I tried to bring that emotion into my singing. I feel grateful to be part of a musical offering that allows this beautiful story to reach audiences in Tamil as well. Speaking about the opportunity to be part of Ramayana through the Telugu version of Mangal Rang, Vaishali Samant said, Being part of Mangal Rang has been a very special experience. Rama and Sitas relationship carries so much love, trust and devotion, and there is a beautiful gentleness to the way their story unfolds in this song. I approached it with a lot of emotion, hoping to do justice to the feeling at its heart. To be able to share this story with Telugu-speaking audiences through music is something I feel very fortunate about. Reflecting on collaborating on Ramayana and lending his voice to the Kannada version of Mangal Rang, Armaan Malik said, Ramayana is a story that transcends generations, and being part of its musical journey is something I feel deeply grateful for. Mangal Rang celebrates the love between Rama and Sita in a way that feels intimate and heartfelt. I wanted my singing to reflect that emotion and allow the melody to speak for itself. I hope the Kannada version connects with listeners in a personal way and brings them closer to the beauty of this timeless relationship. Talking about the emotional connection she found with Rama and Sitas relationship while singing the Kannada version of Mangal Rang, Bela Shende said, There is something incredibly moving about the love between Rama and Sita. It is rooted in trust, understanding and a bond that remains strong through every turn of their journey. Singing Mangal Rang gave me an opportunity to connect with that emotion, and I approached the song with a great deal of love and reverence. I hope the Kannada version brings listeners the same warmth and peace that I felt while singing it. Dr Kumar Vishwas on penning the lyrics of Mangal Rang for Namit Malhotras Ramayana: I sat down several times to write a song celebrating the divine wedding of Shri Ram. Yet, every time I wrote a couple of lines and revisited them, I felt that the grandeur of the wedding of the ParamPita must have been a thousand times greater than anything I could express through my words. Eventually, when I found myself unable to feel satisfied with my own writing, I turned to Maa Saraswati in prayer. Whatever this composition has become, I believe it is her creation. Ramayana features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. The film is set to release on November 5.

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
