Punjabi singer Jasmine Sandlas found herself at the centre of concern after a video from her recent concert in Dehradun went viral on social media. The clip, widely circulated online, appears to show the singer being inappropriately touched by members of the crowd while she was interacting with fans near the stage.
The incident reportedly took place during Jasmine's live performance when she moved closer to the audience to greet concertgoers. As the crowd surged forward, several people stretched out their hands to reach the singer. Amid the chaos, the video shows Jasmine seemingly being touched inappropriately before security personnel intervened and escorted her away from the area.
The footage quickly gained traction online, with fans expressing concern over the singer's safety and criticising the lack of crowd control at the event. Many social media users urged organisers to ensure stronger security measures at live performances, particularly when artistes engage with audiences at close range.
Several users condemned the behaviour seen in the viral clip. One wrote, "Artists deserve respect, not this." Another commented, "This is exactly why proper security is necessary at concerts." Others praised Jasmine for maintaining her composure despite the uncomfortable situation.
Neither Jasmine Sandlas nor her team has issued an official statement regarding the incident at the time of writing. The organisers have also not publicly addressed the viral video or responded to the criticism surrounding the event's security arrangements.
The episode has reignited discussions about the safety of performers during live concerts. Over the years, several artistes have faced similar situations while interacting with enthusiastic crowds, prompting repeated calls for stricter security protocols and better crowd management at public events.
Jasmine, one of the most popular voices in the Punjabi music industry, has delivered several hit songs and enjoys a massive fan following across India and overseas. She is known for chartbusters such as Yaar Naa Miley, Illegal Weapon and Sip Sip. Her energetic stage performances and close interaction with fans have made her concerts especially popular.
As the video continues to circulate across social media platforms, many fans have rallied behind the singer, urging organisers and authorities to prioritise artiste safety at live events. While the exact circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, the viral clip has once again highlighted the challenges performers can face when large crowds become difficult to manage during public appearances. She recently revealed about her engagement.
