While another team member told her, "That creative part I will leave to you. Technical part, we are sorry." Further, Jasleen was heard saying, "After a certain point, I can feel it like it’s time to go home. There’s a lot of pressure. I’ll die. I swear I’ll die. I am still processing. It was a lot to process."
Later, the singer addressed the audience and said, "I have been nervous, it has been overwhelming. But thank you for keeping your faith in me. It means a lot."
Further in the video, Jasleen expressed her nervousness, revealing that she didn't want people to think she didn't deserve to be there or question why she was performing at the Coldplay concert. She also shared her concerns that the audience was only there for Coldplay and that her music might not be appreciated.
"I am a self-taught musician. So, I know I am not perfect. I keep learning every day. I try to better myself every day. But I try to put up a great show that people have a great experience. I’m just trying to put out my best effort that they also feel that was a good opening act we selected from India. And that’s all the pressure I’m taking. Nothing much," added the singer.
