Did they even ask once what happened to her, what did they do to her and her band? I didn't even tell anyone what had happened to us when I talked on stage because I didn't want anyone to be hurt because I'm not the one who should punish people, but now that it's in my name, I had to speak up. Here it is, then.Neha went on, "Are you all aware that I gave my Melbourne audience a completely free performance? My money and others were stolen by the organizers. My band didn't even receive water, food, or lodging. My spouse went with his boys to feed them.
