Karan Aujla
Singer Karan Aujla made a power-packed return to Mumbai with his much-awaited Mumbai 2.0 concert held on April 12. Karan Aujla set the city ablaze with his high-energy Punjabi beats. However, during the event, there was a brief moment of chaos as a scuffle broke out near the venue, Mahalaxmi Racecourse.
As per reports, the incident took place outside the racecourse premises, near its parking area. A group of young men were seen getting violent and engaging in a physical fight. Videos of the altercation have since gone viral on social media and show the individuals throwing punches at each other, while onlookers record the incident.
The situation caused brief panic among the concertgoers, but security guards promptly rushed to the scene, bringing the situation under control and ensuring order. As reported by Free Press Journal, no injuries or official complaints have been confirmed until now, and no legal action has been initiated by either party involved in the scuffle.
Despite the disruption outside, the concert proceeded smoothly, with the singer delivering a high-energy performance to a packed audience. Aujla performed some of his biggest hits, including Tauba Tauba, Boyfriend, On Top and Wavy, with fans responding enthusiastically throughout the night. He also paid a heartfelt tribute to legendary singer Asha Bhosle, who passed away on Sunday at 92.
The Mumbai 2.0 concert marked a major comeback for Aujla, especially after his earlier Holi event at the MMRDA Grounds on March 3 faced severe criticism.
Karan performed in Mumbai at a Holi-themed daytime concert on March 3. A large number of fans gathered to celebrate Holi and enjoy the music.
However, after the show, many fans shared videos online, saying they were left "disappointed" and criticised the singer for poor crowd management.
While some fans alleged that sprinklers were only available in the Fan Zone and not in the VIP or General areas, others claimed there were long queues to buy water. A few also said that some fans fainted due to the heat and the crowd.
In a viral video, a fan complained about spending Rs 6,000 on a ticket just to faint thrice due to the scorching sun and having to drink ORS to recover.
In another video, a fan criticised the organisers, claiming she could not even catch a single glimpse of Karan Aujla because there were no large screens, and the stage was too far away, even for those in the VIP section.
Karan did not address the complaints directly, but on Instagram, he wrote, "Bombay, I think we need to add a night concert. Team Innovation, y'all coming back stronger or what???"
