सिंगर दिलेर मेहंदी के बाद बॉलीवुड में कई हिट गाने दे चुकीं सिंगर शिल्पा राव ने सोशल मीडिया पर एक कार्यक्रम में हुए बुरे बर्ताव के बारे में बताया. कैसे उनका कार्यक्रम अचानक रोके जाने और उनका माइक्रोफोन बंद कर दिए जाने से उन्हें गहरा दुख पहुंचा है. अब इस घटना पर ऑल इंडियन सिने वर्कर्स एसोसिएशन (AICWA) ने रिएक्ट किया है. उन्होंने सिंगर के साथ हुए अपमानजनक बर्ताव की निंदा की और कहा कि ये सब कतई बर्दाश्त नहीं किया जाएगा.
‘चलेया’, ‘तेरे हवाले’ और ‘बेशरम रंग’ जैसे गानों के लिए मशहूर शिल्पा राव के साथ हुई घटना पर ऑल इंडियन सिने वर्कर्स एसोसिएशन ने रविवार को एक्स पर रिएक्ट करते हुए पोस्ट किया. फिल्म वर्कर्स के लिए काम करने वाली बॉडी ने कहा कि वह इस बर्ताव की कड़ी निंदा करते हैं. शो के बीच ऐसे एक परफॉर्मिंग आर्टिस्ट का माइक बंद करना, साउंड काट देना और लाइट बंद कर दूसरे को स्टेज देना अपमानजनक है. ये बिल्कुल भी स्वीकार्य नहीं.
AICWA Condemns Disrespect Shown to National Award-Winning Singer Shilpa Rao at the Bollywood Music Project 10th Edition
Mumbai, 25 October 2026
The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) strongly condemns the treatment of National Award-winning singer Shilpa Rao during her live performance at the 10th edition of the Bollywood Music Project (BMP) in Mumbai on 24 October 2026.
Shilpa Rao was performing live on stage when her microphone and lights were forcibly switched off by the organisers. She remained on stage for some time. After her mic was switched off, another performer, Kutle Khan of the Kutle Khan Project, was allowed to sing in her place, and he began singing midway through her address. Forcibly cutting a performing artist’s sound and lighting mid-show, and then handing the stage to another act, is completely unacceptable.
Shilpa Rao is a National Award winner and one of the most respected voices in Indian music. Her songs have been loved by audiences across the country, including “Tose Naina” (Anwar), “Khuda Jaane” (Bachna Ae Haseeno), “Bulleya” (Ae Dil Hai Mushkil), “Chaleya” (Jawan) and “Ghungroo” (War). To treat an artist of her stature this way, on the stage of an anniversary edition, is a direct insult to her dignity and to the honour she has earned.
When the mic and lights were switched off, the audience stood by Shilpa Rao and kept calling out her name, lifting her spirits. In a heartfelt note on Instagram, she wrote that a little piece of her heart broke that night, that the audience’s love was felt even after the music stopped, and that she will come back to Mumbai. AICWA salutes the audience for standing with a true artist.
AICWA’s position:
•AICWA condemns, in the harshest terms, the humiliation the Bollywood Music Project inflicted on National Award-winning singer Shilpa Rao while she was performing live on stage. Such behaviour towards an artist will never be tolerated.
•AICWA stands firmly with Shilpa Rao. If she chooses to take any action against the Bollywood Music Project, AICWA will support her through every legal avenue.
•If any artist is mistreated in the future, AICWA will take strict action against those responsible, as per the law. The humiliation of an artist will not be tolerated.
•We call on the organisers to respect artists. If this behaviour continues, artists will refuse to perform at their events.
•Artists are invited to showcase their art. Paying for a performance does not mean owning the performer. Anyone who believes otherwise is mistaken, and that attitude is wrong.
•An artist wants respect, not humiliation. No artist should ever face such treatment on a live stage.
