Singer Neha Kakkar recently found herself at the center of controversy after arriving three hours late for her concert in Melbourne, Australia. A viral video shared on Reddit captured the emotional moment when Neha broke down on stage, apologizing to the audience for the delay.
In the video, Neha expressed her regret for keeping her fans waiting and reassured them that she would ensure they had a great time. Fighting back tears, she said, “You have been really sweet and patient. I have never made anyone wait in my life. I’m so sorry. You all mean the world to me. I was so worried about what would happen. It means a lot to me, and I will always remember this evening. But I promise to make it up to you all.”
While some fans sympathized with Neha, others were critical of the delay. In the video, one audience member could be heard saying, “This is not India, you are in Australia. Go back and take rest. We waited for over two hours. Very good acting. This is not Indian Idol.” Other comments on Reddit criticized Neha for being “fashionably late” and questioned the quality of her performance.
Despite the backlash, Neha’s fans came to her defense on social media. According to some comments, the event organizers had allegedly run off with the sponsor money, putting the show at risk. Instead of canceling the event, Neha reportedly decided to cover the costs herself, ensuring the concert went ahead. One fan wrote, “Do you even know the real reason? She performed without being paid, covering expenses for dancers and other staff herself.” Another added, “Instead of walking away, Neha chose to perform despite the chaos and delays. She didn’t arrive late by choice—she refused to let the audience down.”
Before her Melbourne performance, Neha had already performed in Sydney as part of her ongoing tour.
