Tony Kakkar defends Neha Kakkar after she gets trolled for crying at concert: 'Artist maryada mein rahe aur janta?'

Popular singer Neha Kakkar faced backlash after she allegedly arrived three hours late for her concert in Melbourne. As the crowd grew restless, Neha broke down on stage and apologised to the audience. Now, amid the backlash, her brother, singer and composer Tony Kakkar, seems to have come to her defense.

On Tuesday, Tony took to his Instagram account to share a statement that read, "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?". In another post, the singer simply wrote, "Artist maryada mein rahe, aur janta? (An artist should remain within their limits, but what about the public?)."

Reacting to Tony's posts, Neha's fans also defended the singer as one of them wrote, "The truth is out! It was the promoter’s fault—no proper arrangements, no backstage setup, and they didn’t even show up! Neha Kakkar still went on stage for her fans. RESPECT HER", while another added, "Thank god you spoke up !!!!! It is clearly the fault of the one who had to arrange everything , it’s so heartbreaking to know that she went through such disrespect, she’s the renowned artist of India."
