According to Neha, the event organisers stopped answering calls and disappeared once issues began to surface.

In her closing statement, Neha expressed gratitude towards the audience members who stood by her during the ordeal.
“Even after everything, I stood on stage and performed because I knew my fans were waiting. I am thankful to everyone who understood my situation and supported me. This much should be enough for now,” she concluded.
