"She should be the one paying us."
Neha Kakkar’s recent concert in Melbourne has sparked a new controversy after the singer blamed event organisers for the significant delays.
Neha, who arrived three hours late, faced backlash from frustrated fans.
In an attempt to explain the situation, she took to social media and accused the organisers of being unprofessional.
The singer claimed they had accepted her payment but failed to deliver on their commitments.
However, the event organisers quickly disputed Neha’s claims.
In a statement, they denied any wrongdoing and argued that her accusations were completely unfounded.
“We will be back with all the proof and details of what happened with the Neha Kakkar show. We will expose everybody tomorrow, it will be live.”
In a Facebook Live, the event’s representative called Neha Kakkar’s show a disaster and clarified that all arrangements were in place.
They added: “The allegations are completely false. We are in a big debt after the show.
“She should be the one paying us. It was a mistake having her on board.”
The organisers said they had arranged for multiple cars, booked luxury hotels, and taken care of all expenses.
These amounted to approximately Rs. 4.25 crore.
They expressed regret for participating in the event and revealed that the entire experience had left them in serious debt.
The organisers even went so far as to say that initiating contact with Neha Kakkar had been a mistake.
Previously, Neha attempted to address the situation and apologise for her tardiness on stage.
She tearfully told the audience: “I’m really sorry! This moment is very special to me. I will always cherish this evening.
“You all have taken out valuable time for me, and I assure you to make you dance your hearts out.”
After the concert, Neha Kakkar shared a note that read:
“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, a 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 hours for me.
“Do you know our sound check got delayed by hours because the sound vendor was not paid and he refused to put the sound on.
“And when, after so much delay, our sound check started, I could not reach the venue.
“We didn’t even know if the concert was happening because the organisers stopped picking up my manager’s calls.
“After all, they were running away from the sponsors. Though there is a lot to share, I guess this is enough.”
