Dehradun, July 20, 2026 Punjabi singer Jasmine Sandlas, renowned for her hit tracks like Shararat from Dhurandhar, Yaar Na Miley, and Taras, found herself at the centre of controversy after a disturbing incident at her recent concert in Dehradun. A video from the free show at Parade Ground has gone viral on social media, allegedly showing the singer being mobbed and inappropriately touched by fans while interacting with the crowd.
The incident reportedly occurred after Sandlas finished performing a song. Enthusiastic fans in the front row cheered, offered roses, and reached out to shake hands. Sandlas stepped closer to greet them and accept the gifts. In the clip, she is seen squatting down to engage with fans as her team urged the crowd to move back. However, several users claimed that some individuals in the crowd touched her inappropriately during the chaotic moment.
One X user who shared the video wrote, “Dhurandhar singer Jasmine Sandlas was mobbed and inappropriately touched by the public. She stepped down a little to accept the roses and greet fans, but some people showed their true colours.” The post quickly gained traction, igniting widespread outrage online. Netizens expressed disappointment and anger, calling for greater respect towards female artists and stricter security protocols at public events. Comments like “Women and artists should always be respected” and “No artist should have to experience this” flooded social media platforms.

Shows how the sux mentality of the youth is overtaking moral behaviour in the country.

Sandlas, who is 40 and recently announced her engagement to Shekhar Chaudhary during a Delhi concert, has not issued an official statement on the matter so far. The singer has previously spoken out against harassment, notably halting a Delhi show to address men harassing women in the audience.
This episode has reignited discussions on fan behaviour, artist safety, and the challenges female performers face in India. Many are demanding better crowd management and awareness campaigns to prevent such incidents at live events. As the video continues to circulate, calls for accountability and improved security at concerts are growing louder.
Authorities and event organisers have yet to comment officially, but the viral backlash highlights the urgent need for safer environments for artists engaging with fans.
