Neha Kakkar has finally broken her silence on the ongoing Melbourne concert controversy. The renowned Indian singer, recently found herself at the center of a controversy when she arrived a staggering three hours late to her concert in Melbourne. The delay sparked widespread outrage among her fans, who had been eagerly waiting for her performance. A video that surfaced on Reddit showed Neha Kakkar breaking down and apologising to her fans, but the damage had already been done. The crowd's frustration was palpable, with some fans heckling her and making disparaging remarks. One person was heard shouting, "Go back! Rest in your hotel," while another attendee chimed in, "This is not India, you're in Australia."

In the aftermath of the incident, Neha Kakkar has finally spoken out, sharing a detailed account of what transpired at the concert and her harrowing experience with the sponsors. She wrote on her Instagram post, “They said she came 3 hours late, did they even ask once what happened to her? What did they do to her or her brand? When I spoke on stage, I did not even tell anyone what happened because I did not want anyone to get harmed, because who am I to punish anyone? But now that it has come on my name, I had to speak up. Do you know I performed for absolutely free for my Melbourne audience?"

Neha continued "The sponsors ran away with my money and other's money too. My band was not even given food, hotel, or even water. My husband and his boys went and provided them with food. Inspite of all this, we still went on stage and did the show without any rest because my fans were waiting for me, for hours."

"The organisers stopped picking up my manager's calls because they were running away from the sponsors and everyone,” she went on to state.

Neha Kakkar acknowledged that the unfortunate experience she had endured was a complex and multifaceted one and that she had chosen to share only a portion of the story. She expressed her appreciation for the kindness and understanding shown by those who had spoken to her and helped to clarify the situation and her deep gratitude to the fans who had attended her concert despite the challenges she had faced. The singer also thanked those who had not only stood by her but had also cried and danced with her, their hearts filled with emotion as they shared in her music and her moment of vulnerability.
