Jasleen Royal, recognized for hit songs such as Ranjha, Heeriye, Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, and Sang Rahiyo, took the stage at Coldplay’s concert held at D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai back in January. Despite the significant opportunity, her performance was met with negative feedback from numerous attendees, who criticized it as “out of tune” and “subpar.” In the months that have passed since the event, Jasleen has publicly addressed the criticism, expressing her feelings as she stated, “There’s a lot of pressure. I am still coming to terms with it all. It was overwhelming.

On April 6th (last Sunday), Jasleen Royal posted a new video on her YouTube channel titled “Dare To Dream,” offering fans an exclusive glimpse into her opening act for Coldplay’s concert. This video showcased various social media responses, bringing attention to the critique she faced regarding her performance. During a poignant scene, she shared some deeply emotional moments related to this criticism.

On day two, Jasleen seemed troubled and shared with a teammate her concerns about the previous day’s show, saying, “Friend, it didn’t happen as planned yesterday. What happened yesterday? Why were my in-ears malfunctioning?” This implies that she experienced technical issues during her performance on day one.

As another team member informed her, “The creative aspect is yours to handle, while we’re sorry for the technical part.” Later, Jasleen could be overheard saying, “At some stage, I sense it’s about time to wrap up things at home. The stress is immense. I fear I might faint. I swear I’ll faint. I need some time to absorb it all; there’s just so much to take in.

Afterward, the performer spoke to the crowd and expressed, “I’ve been quite anxious, and this experience has been incredibly intense. However, I want to express my gratitude for your belief in me. It truly touches my heart.

Towards the end of the video, Jasleen shared her feelings about anxiety, revealing that she had concerns people might think she didn’t fit on that stage during a Coldplay concert or wonder why she was there. Additionally, she confessed her worry that the crowd was mainly drawn to see Coldplay and doubted whether her music would connect with them.

The performer openly admitted that she learned music by herself and accepted her imperfections, yet emphasized her relentless pursuit of growth. She expressed her dedication to creating a show that leaves a lasting impression on the audience.

Jasleen emphasized that her primary objective was to make sure the opening act, selected from India, was well-received by the audience, and this was the only expectation she held for herself.
