Subhash Chandra’s Sanskaari Tweet on Coldplay Gets Slammed Online

Zee’s Subhash Chandra was ‘saddened’ by the Coldplay concert and tweeted, well he just shouldn’t have.

Media baron Subhash Chandra was apparently quite “saddened” on Sunday night. The reason – Chandra had witnessed some deeply disconcerting sights on Saturday at the Global Citizen India Festival in Mumbai. The Zee honcho had seen youngsters drinking, smoking and dancing at the Coldplay concert and was really anguished about it.

Yes, young people dancing at a musical concert - what’s the world coming to?

I was saddened to see our youth smoking, drinking wine & dancing in COLDPLAY my question do they also know Rabinder Sangeet & other cultural

Aspects & Indian art forms? It's high time we make our own cultural heritage COOL for our youth which is better than Coldplay

Needless to say, Twitterati was quick to silence Dr Chandra’s ‘oh-so-sanskaari’ tweet.

Some Called Out His Hypocrisy...

because Zee Music shows plenty of not so sanskaari stuff.

I was saddened to see you breaking the queue in a Jet flight to Delhi last month with such arrogance just because you were in Biz class https://t.co/WgRWgP0CTf

And Got Educated on the Freedom of Choice...

@subhashchandra As a Bengali, I sing Rabindrasangeet and also listen to western music. People's brains are big enough to handle both, sir.

@subhashchandra then efforts should be made to bring up the supposed indian art and not by dissing Coldplay/west. It's for people to choose.

@subhashchandra You know it doesn't have to be a competition right? People can choose what they think is COOL and what isn't!!
