India, Sept. 24 -- Carnatic singer Sivasri Skandaprasad has recounted her "traumatic" train journey where a group of middle-aged men occupied most of the coach and inconvenienced other passengers by talking and laughing loudly.

Skandaprasad, who is married to Tejasvi Surya, the BJP Member of Parliament from Bengaluru South, said that the group of 40 men became a public nuisance by shouting and talking loudly for the entirety of the five-hour journey.

"I had a traumatic train ride today," Sivasri Skandaprasad said in an X post this morning.

The singer and founder of Ahuti said that while artists "thrive in silence", her own wish for a silent train journey was shattered by the large group of men in her coach.
