Singer Neha Kakkar has been in the limelight for the past few days after arriving three hours late and allegedly performing for just one hour at her recent Melbourne concert. During the event, she broke down in tears, apologising to fans for the delay. However, she soon faced massive backlash from concertgoers, who called her emotional moment as 'drama.' On Thursday, Neha finally broke her silence, revealing that the organisers had run away with all the money and, until the last minute, she was unaware whether the concert would even take place as they had stopped answering her manager’s calls.
After Neha's clarification, her husband, Rohanpreet Singh, issued a statement urging fans not to judge her without knowing the real truth. Taking to his Instagram handle, Rohanpreet wrote, "I want to say this very humbly—until we know the truth or understand both sides of the reality, we should never judge anyone. In fact, we should implement this in all our lives as well! Huge respect to my wife and band, who went on stage despite so many difficulties and chaos!"
Neha Kakkar's clarification
Kakkar's note read, "Do you all know that I performed absolutely free for my Melbourne audience? The organisers ran away with my money and others too. My band was not even given food, hotel and even water. My husband and his boys went and provided them food. Inspite of all of this we still went on stage and did the show without any rest or anything because there my fans were waiting for hours for me."
She added, "Do you know our sound check got delayed by hours coz the sound vendor was not paid and he refused to put the sound on. And when after so much of delay our sound check started, I could not reach the venue, could not do the sound check, we didn't even know if the concert is happening coz the organisers stopped picking my manager's calls coz apparently they were running away from the sponsors n everyone. Though there's still a lot to share but I guess this is enough."
