Madhuri Dixit is making headlines for her Dil Se… Madhuri event in Toronto. The actress faced backlash for allegedly arriving nearly three hours late. Fans who attended expressed their thoughts on social media and criticised the organisers for promoting the event as a concert when it was perceived to be a talk show. Some individuals also criticised Madhuri’s late arrival, while others described the evening as a disappointing experience and a complete waste of time and resources.

However, following the event, the Dil To Pagal Hai actress shared a post on Instagram thanking her fans and expressing her gratitude. She also announced dates of her further meet and greet events that will take place in New Jersey, Boston, Chicago, Houston, New York. This did not sit well with the fan and they demanded an apology from the actress for a similar event that took place on November 2. The confusion ensued when fans thought that the November 2 event would be a dance and musical night, but actually it was a ‘Meet and Greet’ event instead.

“Why were you 3 hours late with no apologies?” read one comment while another person wrote, “Madhuri Dixit Nene. I grew up loving you and watching you. As of now. Toronto is very disappointed in your show. They were misled. False advertising on what the show was supposed to be. What everyone was expecting and what actually happened.” Complaining about a fake advertisement for the Toronto show, another netizen added, “But you owe Toronto an apology for fake advertising…your own post on your profile doesn’t call it a Meet and Greet. You say an evening of dance , music and celebrations”

Meanwhile, Atique Sheikh, the event organiser stated recently that although the actress was on time, she got late due to ‘miscommunication from the management.’

He said in a statement, “It was a management miscommunication. That’s how some fans must have gotten confused, we can’t have a concert in a small banquet. It was pretty well mentioned before about the show being a Fan Meet. Madhuri ji has worked with us in the past as well and something like this has never happened. She in fact performed on her hit songs. Our idea was to present her celebrated journey in the industry and have a fan interaction.”
