Last Updated:
Renowned singer Rekha Bhardwaj stopped her performance in Bhopal when fireworks disrupted her song, Lambi Judai. A viral video shows her irritation, calling the fireworks "very unmusical."
In a recent concert in Bhopal, renowned singer Rekha Bhardwaj was visibly frustrated when the organisers set off fireworks during her live performance. This prompted her to stop singing mid-song. A video of the incident has now gone viral on social media.
While performing the iconic song, Lambi Judai, Bhardwaj was interrupted by loud fireworks, which seemed to disturb her concentration and the flow of the performance. In response, the singer stopped singing and closed her eyes. The video, which quickly circulated online, shows Bhardwaj's visible irritation .
An annoyed Rekha then said, 'Yeh patakkhe bohut unmusical hai. Bohut ghalat waqt pe gaye hai (These fireworks are very unmusical. They went off at a very wrong time)."
Despite her clear irritation, Rekha Bhardwaj patiently waited for the fireworks to subside, holding the microphone close as she tried to continue. As the loud bursts continued, she smiled, looking around at the scene. She then quipped, 'Bichare jo sogaye honge aas paas unko taqleef hogi" (Those who fell asleep nearby must be having a problem).
After patiently waiting for a while, Rekha Bhardwaj called out the names of a few individuals, presumably the organisers. She said, 'Can we please stop this? Yeh jo patakkhe. Bohut ho gaya" (These fireworks. Enough now). As the fireworks finally ceased, Rekha resumed her performance, much to the delight of the audience, who greeted her return with hoots and cheers.
Rekha Bhardwaj is renowned for her soulful voice, having sung numerous hit songs that have become timeless classics. Some of her most popular tracks include Namak Ishq Ka, Kabira, Laadki, Genda Phool, Mat Aana, Nikat, Aise Kyun, So Ja So Ja, Sakhi Ri, and Yeh Ishq Hai. In addition to these, she has lent her voice to a range of memorable songs such as Teri Fariyad, Dum Ghutta Hai, Zinda, Mileya Mileya, Hamari Atariya Pe, Ghagra, Oye Boy Charlie, and Phir Le Aya Dil.

'I've no qualms about singing item song, it doesn't imply that I become cheap': Rekha Bhardwaj opens up on singing Namak
Singer Rekha Bhardwaj has opened up about her hit song Namak from the 2006 film Omkara and how she 'wasn't getting much work' before its release. Speaking with News18, Rekha said that she is comfortable singing any genre of song, adding that lending her voice to an item track "doesn't imply that I become cheap". (Also Read | Rekha Bhardwaj reveals how late Jagjit Singh once made her feel 'so small', said her voice had lost its 'chamak') Rekha recalled the time before she sang Namak. The singer said, 'It took me very long to rediscover that mischievous, naughty side of me through song. I had lost all confidence when I was first asked to sing it. But Vishal [Bhardwaj] believed in me. He played back a recording of me singing it casually one night and said, 'Only you can sing this.' That gave me the push I needed. Until that point, I wasn't getting much work. That song made me realise my potential." Citing the example of Lataji Mangeshkar's Aa Jaane Jaan, she said that a "song can be sensuous and still be dignified". "If it is not aesthetic, I would not like to sing a track. Other than that, any form is good to me. I have no qualms about singing an item song; it doesn't imply that I become cheap or anything of the sort. Item songs are part of our cultural expression too. It's not about the form- it's about how it's executed. A song can be sensuous and still be dignified. Just look at Lataji's Aa Jaane Jaan – those kind of songs had grace, not vulgarity," she added. Rekha has sung many other hit songs such as Laadki, Genda Phool, Mat Aana, Nikat, Aise Kyun, So Ja So Ja, Sakhi Ri, and Yeh Ishq Hai. She also lent her voice to Teri Fariyad, Dum Ghutta Hai, Zinda, Mileya Mileya, Hamari Atariya Pe, Pehli Baar Mohabbat, Mora Jiya Lagge Na, Oye Boy Charlie, Ghagra, Kabira, and Mat Aana and among others.
