Mumbai: Bollywood’s Dhak Dhak girl, Madhuri Dixit faced a huge backlash after arriving three hours late for her Canada tour show, leaving audience greatly disappointed and demanding for refunds.
A video clip from Madhuri’s ongoing Canada tour has gone viral on social media, including an overlay text that read, “If I could give you one piece of advice, it’s to not attend the Madhuri Dixit tour… save your money.”
The comments section is flooded with messages labelling the show as “chaotic,” “poorly organized,” and “a waste of time.”
One frustrated audience wrote, “This was the worst show ever. So unorganised. Advertisement didn’t say she was just going to chat and dance 2 seconds of each song. Very poorly organized by the promoters. So many people walked out. People were yelling for refunds. Doesn’t matter that she is a beautiful actress and person, everyone who went to the show has to agree it was poorly organised.”
Another user commented, “Worst show one can ever go to. Least worried about the audience’s time. Three hours late and then full of lame talks.”
The starting time of the show was mentioned as 7.30 pm on the tickets, but the show reportedly began only around 10 pm.
“I left at 11:05 pm as I had work the next day. I honestly don’t know if it was the organisers or her who decided she’d come at 10 pm. It just started way too late and disrespected the audience’s time,” one annoyed audience shared.
Urging people to take a formal action against the organisers, one wrote, “Everyone please report the organizers to Consumer Protection Ontario. This falls under ‘Misrepresentation.’ It’s illegal for a business to give false information about their services.”
However, amid the ongoing controversy, some fans came forward to defend their favourite Madhuri.
One admirer posted, “She seems to be performing as graciously as always! It may be a production or management coordination issue.”
Another fan wrote, “Madhuri Dixit is amazing. Real fans would appreciate any glimpse of her. It’s not her fault if it was not organized correctly. To be in her presence is something else.”
Madhuri’s team has not issued any official clarification regarding the incident.

Earlier this year, singer Neha Kakkar also faced a backlash for arriving late for her Melbourne concert.
However, the singer apologized, and later blamed the organisers for poor arrangements.
