‘It was a mistake having Neha Kakkar’, say Melbourne concert organisers, reveal Rs 4.5 crore loss

BOMBAY TIMES (March 31, 2025)

After singer Neha Kakkar claimed that the organizers “ran away with her money” and ignored her calls – leading to a delay at her recent Melbourne gig – the organizers have hit back, accusing the singer of causing a Rs 4.52 crore loss.

They released a detailed expense report on Instagram for Kakkar’s concerts in Sydney and Melbourne, alleging that due to her “unprofessionalism,” they have been banned from performing at the Margaret Court Arena. They also claimed they’ve been barred from Crown Towers in both cities after Neha was allegedly caught smoking in the artist room, which is strictly prohibited in Australia.

Neha faced backlash after she was reportedly three hours late for her concert in Melbourne, leading the audience to boo her off stage. After a video of the incident went viral on social media, the singer took to Instagram to explain her side of the story, alleging that the organizers failed to provide accommodation for her and her team. She also claimed that they did not pay the vendors and ultimately abandoned the event.

However, the organising team have labelled Neha’s statements “totally untrue,” and stated that they actually faced significant financial losses due to the show. Agencies
