Neha Kakkar Finally Reveals Why She Was 3 Hours Late to Her Melbourne Concert
Neha Kakkar recently faced backlash for arriving late at her Melbourne concert. A video of her crying and apologizing to her fans went viral on Reddit. Many fans criticized her for being three hours late and even blamed her for the situation.
Neha has now spoken up and shared the real reason behind the delay. In a detailed Instagram post, she revealed that the event organizers ran away with all the money, leaving her and her team stranded. She explained the difficulties they faced and how she still performed for free, despite all the struggles.
In her Instagram post, Neha wrote:
“They said she came 3 hours late, did they even ask once that what happened to her, what did they do to her and her band? When I spoke on stage I didn’t even tell anyone what happened to us coz I didn’t want anyone to get harmed coz who am I to punish anyone but now that it’s come on my name, I had to speak up, so here it is!”
She also shared:
“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.”
Neha further explained:
“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.”
She concluded by thanking her fans for standing by her during the difficult time. Despite the chaos, she made sure to perform and give her audience an unforgettable night.
