Neha Kakkar Melbourne Concert Controversy:
Rohanpreet Singh addressed the trolling Neha has been facing due to the incident. He shared a post in Punjabi, which loosely translates to English as, "I want to be humble while sharing something. Until we know the reality or are aware of both sides, we should not judge anyone. We should implement this in all our lives."
He further praised his wife and the band, writing, “Huge respect to my wife and band, who went on stage despite facing so many difficulties and chaos.”

About Neha Kakkar Melbourne Concert Controversy:
Videos showing Neha Kakkar breaking down on stage quickly went viral on social media. In the clip, she was heard saying, “You guys are really sweet and patient. Itni der se aap log wait kar rahe ho. I hate it, maine life mein kabhi kisi ko wait nahi karwaya hai. Aap itni der se wait kar rahe ho, I’m so sorry! It means a lot to me. I will remember this evening forever. Aaj aap log mere liye itna kimti time nikaal kar aaye ho. I will make sure that I will make you all dance." Despite her emotional words, her three-hour late arrival created chaos at the venue, with the audience booing her and asking her to leave.
Neha Kakkar finally broke her silence and issued a statement on her Instagram, explaining what exactly happened. She wrote, "They said I came 3 hours late, but did they even ask once what happened to me, what did they do to me and my band? When I spoke on stage, I didn’t tell anyone what happened to us because I didn’t want anyone to get harmed. Who am I to punish anyone? But now that it's come on my name, I had to speak up. So here it is!"

Neha revealed that the organizers had run away with the money and failed to provide facilities for her band. She added, "Do you all know that I performed absolutely free for my Melbourne audience? The organizers ran away with my money and others' too. My band wasn’t even given food, a hotel, or even water. My husband and his boys went and provided them food. Despite all of this, we still went on stage and did the show without any rest, because my fans were waiting for hours for me."
