Renowned Malayalam singer and music composer Jassie Gift found himself at the center of controversy after facing a humiliating incident during a college program held in Kolenchery. The celebrated artist, known for his melodious tunes, encountered a disrespectful interruption while performing at the College Day event.

According to reports, Jassie Gift was invited to perform at a college function, where he was allotted a slot to showcase his musical talents. However, during his performance, the unexpected occurred when the college principal abruptly grabbed the microphone from Jassie Gift's hands, bringing his rendition to an abrupt halt.

Speaking to Asianet News about the incident, Jassie Gift expressed his disappointment, stating that while he was permitted to perform solo on stage, the college management objected when his chorus team began to accompany him. The singer conveyed his sadness at the principal's actions, emphasizing that no artist deserves to be disrespected in such a manner.

Asserting the common practice of singers being accompanied by a chorus team during performances, Jassie Gift highlighted the lack of understanding on the part of the principal, who failed to acknowledge this standard procedure.
