Madhuri Dixit drops FIRST post after facing backlash for delay at Toronto show; fans call for an apology

Madhuri Dixit has finally broken her silence after facing intense online backlash for her recent Toronto event, Dil Se... Madhuri. The actress had a delayed arrival, showing up almost three hours late, which left many in the audience feeling disappointed and frustrated. The event's format also drew criticism, with some attendees claiming it was advertised as a full-fledged musical concert but turned out to be more of a talk session, failing to meet their expectations. Amidst the controversy, Madhuri shared her first post, sparking curiosity about what she might have to say in response to the backlash.

Madhuri shares her first post

Madhuri Dixit shared the schedule for her upcoming meet-and-greet events in various US cities. "Thank you Toronto for a lovely Meet and Greet and now looking forward to meeting my fans in New Jersey on 6th November, Boston on 7th November, Chicago on 8th November, Houston on 9th November and New York on 15th November," she wrote.

Fans call for an apology

The comment section quickly filled with grievances as fans who attended the Toronto event vented their frustration and disappointment. One user commented, "Disappointing to see you're labeling this a meet-and-greet now. Many of us, including myself, spent money on the Toronto event without knowing what to expect. Honestly, transparency would've gone a long way."

Another criticised the way the event was marketed, saying, "Seems like damage control now. The promotions didn't match the reality. If it was just a meet-and-greet, why call it a tour? A special appearance would've been a more accurate description."

Following the situation, a segment of fans began requesting an apology from Madhuri. One fan wrote, "You owe an apology to us, stop posting this," while another stated, "you should be ashamed and apologies publicily."

Even organisers issue a clarification

Following widespread criticism online, True Sound Live Ltd., the event organisers, released a formal statement addressing the controversy. The group denied allegations that the event was mismanaged or delayed on their part. They stated that the event began on time as scheduled, featuring "a high-energy opening act featuring exceptional singers from Indian Idol."

"Madhuri Dixit's own management team misinformed her about the call time, resulting in her late arrival around 10 PM. This delay was completely beyond the control of True Sound Live Ltd," the statement read.

About the event
