Neha Kakkar’s account of the event

Neha Kakkar penned a lengthy note explaining her side of the story. She claimed that she faced a harrowing experience with the organisers as they “ran away with her money.” 

She wrote, “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, hotel and even water. My husband and his boys went and provided them with food. In spite of all this, we still went on stage and did the show without any rest or anything because my fans were waiting for hrs for me there.”
