Bollywood singer Neha Kakkar recently found herself in the spotlight for arriving three hours late to her live concert in Melbourne. A video from the event, which surfaced on Reddit, shows the singer breaking down on stage while expressing gratitude to the audience for their patience. However, her emotional response received mixed reactions, both online and from the crowd present at the venue.
Neha Kakkar’s Emotional Apology
In the viral video, Neha Kakkar can be seen addressing the audience with teary eyes, saying, “Guys, you are really sweet! You have been patient. Itni der se aap log wait kar rahe ho (You have been waiting for so long). I hate it, maine life mein kabhi kisi ko wait nahi karwaya hai (I have never made anyone wait for so long). 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 (You all have taken out such precious time for me). I will make sure that I make you all dance.”
Mixed Reactions from the Audience
While some fans cheered her on, many in the audience were visibly frustrated with the delay. In the video, voices from the crowd can be heard shouting angry remarks. One attendee was heard saying, “Go back! Rest in your hotel,” while another added, “This is not India, you’re in Australia.” Others called out the delay, saying, “We have been waiting for three hours.” Another voice mockingly remarked, “Very good acting! This is not Indian Idol. You’re not performing with kids.”
Neha Kakkar’s Sydney Performance
Before the Melbourne concert, Neha Kakkar performed in Sydney, where she received a positive response from fans. The singer even shared snippets from the show on her Instagram, celebrating the energetic audience.
Known for chart-topping hits such as Badri Ki Dulhaniya, Sunny Sunny, Coca Cola, Garmi, and Gali Gali, Neha Kakkar continues to enjoy immense popularity among Bollywood music fans. However, her recent Melbourne concert delay and the audience’s backlash highlight the growing expectations from international concertgoers regarding punctuality and professionalism.
