Highlights and Controversies from Post Malone’s Guwahati Concert

American pop-country star Post Malone (real name: Austin Richard Post) delivered a highly anticipated concert in Guwahati, Assam, on December 8. While the performance itself generated enthusiasm, the event was marked by both positive gestures and concerning safety issues.

🌟 High Points

Tribute to Zubeen Garg: Post Malone won over the local crowd with a heartfelt tribute to the late Assamese cultural icon, Zubeen Garg, who passed away earlier in the year.The singer introduced himself and paid respect, saying: “To be in the home of the great legendary Zubeen tonight, ladies and gentlemen. I just hope everyone’s having an amazing day and an amazing night. My name is Austin Richard Post, and I’ve come to play some street songs.”
Unfazed by a Fall: During his performance of the hit song “Sunflower,” Post Malone had an “oops moment” when he suffered a fall off the stage. While making his way down the steps to greet the audience, the barefeet singer slipped, sliding down the steps on his back. Despite the tumble, he quickly got back up, remained unfazed, and continued greeting his fans, demonstrating professionalism.

The Wider Issue: She emphasized that this was “not ‘normal crowd pushing'” but part of a “wider issue of violence against women and the way harassment is minimised in public spaces.” She lamented that the incident prevented them from enjoying the concert, as they were forced to choose between the music and “guarding their bodies.”
Local Support: However, Emma clarified that the incident was not a reflection on the city as a whole, noting that some men did step in to defend them and provide safety after the incident.

The initial request about Priyanka Chopra’s career pivot led to a search for the six consecutive flop films she mentioned. The search results consistently confirm that she saw six flops in a year, which forced her to pivot to more challenging, woman-led roles like Fashion (2008), which became her turning point.

While the exact six films in one specific year are hard to definitively list from the provided snippets (as her films in 2004 and 2005 were largely commercial failures, except for Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Aitraaz, and Krrish), the consensus points to a run of flops including:
