Neha Kakkar reacts for the first time after Melbourne concert backlash

Neha Kakkar, one of Bollywood’s most beloved playback singers, recently found herself at the center of a major controversy after her Melbourne concert took an unexpected turn. Known for her heartfelt vocals and energetic performances, Neha has long been admired for her journey from humble beginnings to becoming a top name in the Indian music scene. However, her recent show in Melbourne led to widespread criticism when she reportedly arrived three hours late and broke down on stage.

The incident sparked outrage online. Videos from the concert quickly went viral, with fans accusing the singer of being unprofessional. Many attendees were seen raising slogans like “Go Back” in frustration, which deeply affected Neha and moved her to tears during the show. Despite the backlash, she remained silent for days—until now.

Breaking her silence, Neha responded to her brother Tony Kakkar’s heartfelt Instagram post, in which he stood by her side. Tony shared an emotional video from the concert and wrote, “Fans bhi rote hain… Fans ka rona fake nahi toh artist ka kaise fake hoga?” He openly questioned why an artist is blamed for crying when it’s considered normal for fans to do the same. His post was filled with admiration and support for Neha, as he wrote, “Queen she is. My sister… My Jaan.”

Neha acknowledged Tony’s love and support by replying in the comments, “I love you the most, bhaiyu,” adding a heart emoji. Her simple yet emotional comment marked her first public reaction to the incident and touched many of her fans who were waiting to hear her side.
