The “Gulabi Pagi” of the music industry, Jasmine Sandlas, has found herself at the center of a social media storm following her latest live performance in Ahmedabad on Sunday, April 19, 2026. While the singer is currently riding high on the global success of the Dhurandhar franchise, her recent stage antics have left a section of her audience feeling “cheated.”
A viral clip from the concert shows Jasmine, dressed in a traditional lehenga choli, pouring a bottle of water over herself before launching into her chartbuster track, Shararat.
The “Fake Performance” Allegations
The controversy isn’t just about the water; it’s about the vocals. In the video circulating on platforms like Instagram and X, Jasmine is seen lowering her microphone several times to perform the song’s hook step, yet the vocals remain perfectly consistent and loud in the background. This has triggered a wave of “lip-syncing” accusations from fans who paid for a live experience. “Live concert me bhi live nahi gaate ye log” (These people don’t even sing live at live concerts), one frustrated user commented, while others labeled the show a “fake performance” and “nonsense.”
Chartbuster Success vs. Concert Criticism
Despite the backlash, it is hard to ignore Jasmine’s current professional peak. Her collaborations with Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh for the Dhurandhar series have turned her into a household name once again. As a franchise, Dhurandhar has shattered records to become a ₹3,000 crore global phenomenon. Jasmine’s tracks, including the title song and the item number Shararat from Part 1, and Jaiye Sanjana from Dhurandhar: The Revenge, have dominated music charts for months. However, critics argue that such massive success comes with a responsibility to deliver authentic live sets.
Fans Divided: Vibes vs. Vocals
While the internet remains critical, the crowd present at the Ahmedabad venue seemed to have a different experience. Many attendees defended the singer, claiming the “vibe” and energy of the show were unmatched. One fan took to social media to thank her, stating, “What a show it was! Thank you for creating this kind of energy.” This divide highlights a growing debate in the Indian independent music scene: whether fans attend concerts for the raw vocal talent or the theatrical, high-energy spectacle of the artist’s persona.
A Career Built on Hits
Jasmine Sandlas is no stranger to the spotlight. Since her breakout Bollywood debut with Yaar Na Miley in Salman Khan’s Kick, she has been the voice behind numerous hits like Illegal Weapon 2.0 and Nasha. Her recent work in films like Thamma and The Bads of Bollywood*** has further cemented her status as a powerhouse performer. As she continues her tour, all eyes will be on her next performance to see if she chooses to address the critics or stick to her controversial, high-octane stage style.
