Madhuri faces
heavy criticisms for delay at event in Canada
A day following Madhuri Dixit faced heavy criticism for allegedly reaching three hours late to an event in Canada, the show organizers, True Sound Live Ltd., issued a statement justifying the cause for her delay. The event took place on November 2 at Toronto’s Great Canadian Casino Resort.
It’s the claim by the organizers that Madhuri’s own management team “misinformed” her on the call time, creating uncertainty among attendees. The statement follows social media backlash against Madhuri Dixit for late arrival. Viewers of the show also complained that the organizers did not clearly communicate that it was a chat show interspersed with performances.
Calling the backlash as “misleading social media commentary,” according to the organizers True Sound Live Ltd. would like to clarify the facts regarding the recent Madhuri Dixit – The Golden Girl of Bollywood show held in Toronto, following misleading social media commentary. The event commenced on time with a high-energy opening act featuring exceptional singers from Indian Idol, exactly as scheduled.
“The show’s format, as communicated to Madhuri Dixit’s management, included a Q&A session at 8:30 PM followed by Madhuri’s 60-minute performance segment. However, regardless the production team’s willingness and persistent communication all through the evening, Madhuri Dixit’s own management team misinformed her on the call time, leading to her late arrival around 10 PM. This delay was entirely ‘ispo facto’ of True Sound Live Ltd,”
It was the organizers’ claim that personal video recordings by “certain backstage individuals” disrupted time coordination and caused further confusion.

The statement further said that they also want to clarify that certain backstage individuals, including Shreya Gupta, were preoccupied with personal video recordings instead supporting the artist’s timely coordination, which further added to the confusion. Attached videos aptly shows Madhuri Dixit’s on-stage presence and performance, and they invite the public to view the footage and judge objectively.The Post hat triggered Social Media Backlash
A person named Parwaiz Dhanani shared a video on his Instagram feed showing Madhuri matching her steps to the song Mera Piya Ghar Aaya rom the 1995 released film Yaraana.
Besides criticism of Madhuri’s late arrival, the Internet also accused the organizers’ failure to clarify the show’s format, resulting dissatisfaction among fans.
One person backlashed the organizers, writing, “Everyone please report the organizers to Consumer Protection Ontario. I just got off the phone, and this falls under ‘Misrepresentation.’ It’s illegal for a business or individual to give you false information about themselves or the product or service they offer.”
Regarding Madhuri’s late arrival, another person wrote, he feels glad saw her, but left at 11:05 PM as had work the next day. Honestly doesn’t seem to be aware if it was the organizers or her who decided she would come at 10 PM. On my ticket, it said the start time was 7:30 PM. It did not mention any pre-shows. I expected it to be a chat with some singing and dancing. It just started way too late and disrespected the audience’s time.”
Madhuri Dixit or her team have not yet responded to the allegations.
