On October 9, dancer Shilpa Sajan withdrew from the European leg of the ongoing Dil-Luminati Tour for similar reasons. Shilpa expressed her feelings on Instagram, stating, “I was thrilled about this opportunity, but the dance industry has revealed its true colours once again. It’s plagued by unprofessionalism, inflated egos, and a complete lack of respect for dancers, with comments like ‘that’s just how Indians work.’ No celebrity is worth sacrificing your self-respect, @diljitdosanjh.”Diljit Dosanjh | Image: InstagramShe explained that when she accepted the role of a backup dancer for the Europe leg of the tour, she was aware of the previous payment issues involving Diljit’s management in North America. However, she was assured that her role would be paid. As the tour progressed, she found it difficult to manage on the meagre £80 pay. Additionally, she had to cover her own accommodation and travel expenses, despite it being international travel.
