Coldplay‘s support act Jasleen Royal has revealed what really went wrong during her show in Mumbai after she was blasted following her performance.
The singer-songwriter, 33, who has won several awards and his best known for her songs Heeriye, Ranjha and Din Shagna Da was billed the ‘mystery guest’ back in January as she joined the band for their show at the DY Patil Stadium.
However her performance didn’t go to plan after she was plagued by sound issues and was soon drowned out by boos and jeers.
Now, Jasleen has revealed what went wrong as she admitted she felt like she was ‘going to die’ following the performance in a new documentary Dare To Dream.
Explaining how her dreams unravelled, she blamed her disaster on her in-ear monitors which had malfunctioned meaning she was unable to hear herself.
Coming off stage moments after the performance she told the crew: ‘There’s a lot of pressure.

‘I’ll die. I swear I’ll die. I’m still processing. There’s a lot to process.’
While her performance had improved by the second night, fans still weren’t impressed as they described it as a ‘disaster’ and admitted it sounded like she had a ‘bad cold and cough’.
It seems Jasleen almost predicted her own fate as she is asked in the documentary what she had been most nervous about before going on stage.
She candidly replied: ‘I don’t want people to think that she did not deserve to be here, or: “Why is she here? We just want Coldplay”.’
There were also signs prior to the live show that things weren’t going to plan as she’s seen asking her band, ‘What do you think, are we prepared?’
Seemingly unconvinced they responded in muted tones: ‘Yeah.’
After the disaster performance she was also offered some kind words from the crew who said: ‘For the technical part, we are sorry. The creative part, I leave to you.’
MailOnline have contacted Coldplay’s representatives for comment.
Coldplay’s performance in Mumbai also made headlines after Chris Martin thanked Indian fans during the set for ‘forgiving us for all the bad things Britain has done.’

Frontman Chris, 47, used the gig on Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour as an opportunity to make his thoughts on British colonialism known as the group performed in the country for the first time since their last visit in 2016.
The British crown ruled on the Indian subcontinent between 1858 and 1947. Known as the British Raj, the period saw Indians suffer extreme poverty and famines as a result.
Speaking to the crowd Chris said: ‘Thank you for coming. It’s amazing to us that you welcome us even though we are from Great Britain.
‘Thank you for forgiving us for all of the bad things Great Britain has done and welcoming us into your home.’
He added: ‘This is our fourth visit to India, and the second time to play.
‘First time we played a long show and we could not have asked for a better audience. Thank you for coming today everybody.’
