Singer Neha Kakkar recently faced significant backlash after arriving three hours late to her concert in Melbourne, Australia. Upon taking the stage, Kakkar broke down in tears and offered a heartfelt apology to the audience, stating, “You have been really sweet and patient. I have never made anyone wait in my life.”
Despite her emotional apology, some attendees expressed their frustration. In a video circulating online, audience members can be heard shouting, “This isn’t India, you’re in Australia. Go back and take rest. We waited for over two hours. Very good acting. Yeh Indian Idol nahi hai (This isn’t Indian Idol).”
In response to the criticism, Kakkar’s brother, Tony Kakkar, shared a cryptic post on Instagram, questioning, “Who is to blame?” This has led to speculation that logistical issues or event organizers may have contributed to the delay.
This incident has ignited discussions about professionalism and punctuality in the entertainment industry, especially concerning international performances.
