Jonita Gandhi, the voice behind hits like What Jhumka and The Breakup Song, is no stranger to the spotlight. But with visibility comes a darker side of fandom—one she’s calling out without sugarcoating it.
In a recent interview with Hauterrfly, Gandhi opened up about the relentless stream of digital harassment she faces, both online and in public. The singer recounted one particularly disturbing moment: an unsolicited photo sent to her via Instagram—complete with her own image in the background.
“I was checking my mentions, and I’d been added to someone’s Close Friends list. I’m going through their story—it’s a d*ck pic,” she said. “A watermark of their thing, with my photo behind it. It’s disgusting.”
Gandhi said she reports these incidents, even if she’s grown used to ignoring them. But that doesn’t make it normal. “I think they just want attention. People are jobless,” she said flatly. “I’ve blocked so many people because of these things.”
Beyond the personal discomfort, Gandhi pointed to the collateral damage—her family. “I don’t really care, but if my mom checks my profile and sees that stuff… I want to protect her from it.”
It’s not just digital junk mail. The harassment bleeds into the real world too. On stage, Gandhi deals with fans who forget the line between performer and participant.
“Some people just want a female performer on stage,” she said. “They get up there and try to sing with me, uninvited. I shut it down with sarcasm, but most of them are too drunk to get it.”
And then there’s the physical boundary-pushing.
“Some try to dance with me while I’m performing. I tell them, ‘Back off. Know your place.’”
Gandhi, 35, remains focused on her music—currently promoting her latest single Beparwai—but her comments cut through the curated glamour of stardom. This isn’t a cry for sympathy. It’s a call for basic decency.
