Sharing a throwback photo from her early career on social media, Sandlas recalled performing at a club with just 15 people in attendance, noting that her passion for music has remained unchanged.

“This photo is from year 2012, I was performing at a small club in Delhi. There were 15 people in the audience. I performed ‘then’ like I perform ‘now’ at arenas and stadiums. Fame and power doesn’t change anyone. It magnifies who you already were,” she wrote.

She added that fans have recently been sharing old photos and videos, bringing back memories of her early, less glamorous days.
