On 3 December 2016, 25-year-old Kulwinder Kaur was shot dead while she was performing at a wedding in Bhatinda, Punjab. She was, reportedly, 2 months pregnant at the time of her death and was killed simply because she had refused to dance with a drunken man at a wedding. But, she was not the only one. Several stage performers are subjected to such atrocities that make them extremely vulnerable as artists.
