Mumbai: Popular Bollywood singer Neha Kakkar arrived three hours late for her concert in Melbourne and broke down on the stage while apologising to the audience.
While a section of the audience tried to cheer her up by clapping for her, others, who were not happy with the singer’s late arrival, yelled at her and asked her to leave.
In the viral video clip from the Melbourne concert, Neha can be heard saying, “Guys, you are really sweet! You have been patient. Itni der se aap log wait kar rahe ho. I hate it, maine life mein kabhi kisi ko wait nahi karwaya hai. Aap itni der se wait kar rahe ho, I’m so sorry! It means a lot to me. I will remember this evening forever. Aaj aap log mere liye itna kimti time nikaal kar aaye ho. I will make sure that I will make you all dance. (Guys, you are really sweet! You have been patient. You’ve been waiting for me for long. I hate it, I have never made anyone wait for so long. I’m so sorry! It means a lot to me. I will remember this evening forever. You’ve taken out time for my concert. I will make sure that I will make you all dance. ”
The video also captured angry voices from the crowd.
Some shouted, “Go back! Rest in your hotel.”
One man said, “This is not India, you’re in Australia.”
Another added, “We have been waiting for three hours.”
A third voice mocked, “Very good acting! This is not Indian Idol. You’re not performing with kids.”
