Singer Neha Kakkar recently performed in Australia; however, fans were in dismay as she allegedly turned up late to the show in Melbourne.
Clips shared from the concert show people reportedly asking her to "go back" after her late entry while she was seen in tears.
Kakkar said, "You have been really sweet and patience 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 (I've never made anyone wait in my entire life)."
After this the Kala Chashma singer took to her Instagram to address what had happened at the show. She mentioned that the organisers ran away with the money, her band members were not provided with food and hotel, and she performed at the concert for free.
However, the organisers of the show 'Beats Production' have responded and alleged that Kakkar's allegations are false.
In an Instagram post, the organisers stated that they had to incur loss of $529000 (Rs 4.5 crore approximately). The organisers also mentioned that they have been "banned from all Olympic park venue because of unprofessional and three hours delayed performance in MCA."
According to the singer's statement, the sound check was also delayed as the sound vendor was not paid.
"I could not reach the venue, couldn't do the sound check, we did not even know if the concert is happening coz the organisers stopped picking my managers' calls coz apparently, they were running away from the sponsors," the singer wrote in the post.
"Though there is still a lot to share but I guess this is enough," she added.
Before Melbourne, Neha Kakkar performed in Sydney. The singer is known for her songs, such as Badri Ki Dulhania, Manali Trance, Kala Chashma, Sunny Sunny, and Gaadi Kaali, among many others.
