Mumbai: On Friday, September 13, Mumbai-based comedian and social media influencer Saumya Sahni shared a video on Instagram slamming singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh for the ticket prices of his upcoming concert Dil-Luminati Tour. On Thursday, September 12, Diljit’s concert tickets were sold out within minutes.
Sharing the video she added a text, “15K for a concert??? In this economy???? In this country????. She captioned the video saying, “my 2 am thoughts are wildly class conscious”.
Reacting to the ticket prices, Saumya said, “I might regret saying this later, but I absolutely have to ki ek Indian artiste ka koi haq nahi banta ki woh 20-25 hazar rupaye ek concert ke charge kare jab woh six cities play kar rahe hai. Woh teen sets play kar sakte hai. Kyunki aapke core audience ke paas paisa nahi hai, employment nahi hai, ek bohut hi limited means of entertainment hai. Bohot hi kam artistes hai joh iss desh ke liye, unki language mein perform kar pate hain. Aur uske baad ek middle-class insaan ka koi access nahi hai us artiste tak”.
She further added, “It is very wild to me that an artiste jiska concert bachche bhi dekhne jaa sakte hain, ek middle class family dekhne jaa sakti thi… they make so much money overseas that they could exempt these things for the country. Like bahar artiste ke sau-dedh sau dollar ke ticket hote hain, ki bas utna hi jitna ek set up ke liye chahiye. Lollapalooza ke passes kitne kam ke hain eine bade lineup ke baad bhi”.
