Bhojpuri singer Priyanka Singh, broke down after she was interrupted mid-way during a live performance by the anchor Rupam Trivikram at the 'Thawe Mahotsav 2023' in Bihar. The host also tried to snatch the mic from the singer's hand before she started crying on stage.
During the performance, the anchor interrupted and said they are running short on time. However, the singer protested about the rude treatment and asked the anchor to give her two minutes to talk. But her plea was ignored and the anchor went on to call one of the dignitaries on stage. "This is not true, not done right to me," the singer said while in tears.
The musician said in Hindi, "I am not dying to sing. You called me here to perform so you cannot disrespect me like this. The district administration is wrong. I had a very bad experience at the Thawe Festival."
