Social media had a day on the ground with the unexpected concert drama. A user joked: “Viva la Kalesh is the hymn we did not know that we needed. Ahmedabad in stupid mode!” Another wrote: “It is only in India that Viva la Vida could become Viva la Kalesh during a concert by Coldplay! It is the crossover that we did not know that we needed!”
Others were not amused, calling behavior. “Ahmedabad had just made a file, but these people tarnished it with their behavior,” said a person. “They even hit a woman – there should be a police case against them.”
