The show was about to get canceled, but Neha didn’t let that happen. She performed despite the mess, which is why she was late.”
Another fan stated, “She did this show without receiving payment, and she paid the dancers and crew from her own pocket. She came just for the audience!” A different supporter added, “Instead of walking away, Neha chose to perform despite the chaos and delays. She was late, not by choice, but because she refused to let the audience down.”
