Neha Kakkar has a message for those who judged her quickly
Neha simply wrote, “Wait for the truth, you’ll regret judging me so quickly (sad face emoji).” The singer faced backlash after she allegedly arrived three hours late for her concert in Melbourne. As the crowd grew restless, Neha broke down on stage and apologised to the audience.
What happened at Neha’s Melbourne show
Several videos on social media platforms showed Neha in tears as she apologized to the audience. The singer was also seen assuring the crowd that she would make up for the lost time. “You have been really sweet and patient itni der se aap log wait kar rahe ho (you have been waiting for so long). I hate it. Maine life mein kabhi kisi ko wait nahi karwaya (I’ve never made anyone wait in my entire life),” Neha said.
Neha got emotional at Melbourne show
“Aap itne der se wait kar rahe ho (You have been waiting for so long). I’m so sorry. You mean the world to me. Aap log itne sweet ho (You people are so sweet). I was so worried about ki kya hoga (I was worried what would happen). It means a lot to me. I’ll always remember this evening forever. But I’ll make sure, aap log jo mere liye itna keemati time nikaal ke aaye ho (that you have taken out your precious time for me), I will make you all dance,” she had added.
Neha’s brother Tony Kakkar defended her
Following the criticism, her brother, singer and composer Tony Kakkar, came to her defence. Tony took to his Instagram account to share a statement that read, “Suppose I invite you to my city for an event and take full responsibility for all arrangements–booking your hotel, car, airport pickup, and tickets. Now, imagine you arrive only to find that nothing has been booked. No car at the airport, no hotel reservation, and no tickets. In that situation, who is to blame?”
In another post, the singer simply wrote, “Artist maryada mein rahe, aur janta? (An artist should remain within their limits, but what about the public?).”
Neha is known for songs such as Buhe Vich, Kaala Chashma and Manali Trance. She performed in Melbourne on Sunday, a day after her concert in Sydney, Australia.
