Singer Neha Kakkar recently found herself at the center of a viral controversy after a video surfaced showing her breaking down on stage during her concert in Melbourne. The emotional moment came after Neha allegedly arrived three hours late for her performance, leading some members of the audience to boo her. As the video gained attention online, many trolls accused the singer of “faking” her tears. However, Neha has yet to publicly address the controversy.
Tony Kakkar Defends His Sister
In the face of the backlash, Neha’s brother, Tony Kakkar, came forward to defend her and share his side of the story. Tony posted a heartfelt video on Instagram showing Neha consoling a female fan who was visibly emotional at the same concert. The video, which also featured a text overlay reading, “Fans bhi rote hai… Fans ka rona fake nahi toh artist ka rona kaise fake hoga?” (If fans cry, their tears aren’t fake, so how can an artist’s tears be fake?), aimed at defending Neha’s emotional reaction and countering the accusations of insincerity.

Tony’s post was accompanied by a loving caption, stating, “Queen she is ♥️♥️ My sister.. My Jaan.” His message resonated with fans, who began rallying behind Neha in support. Additionally, Tony had shared a cryptic Instagram post earlier, addressing the incident without directly naming it. In his post, he questioned, “Suppose I invite you to my city for an event and take full responsibility for all arrangements—booking your hotel, car, airport pickup, and tickets. Now, imagine you arrive only to find that nothing has been booked. No car at the airport, no hotel reservation, and no tickets. In that situation, who is to blame?” This post seemed to highlight logistical issues that might have led to Neha’s delayed arrival.
