Singer Neha Kakkar left fans concerned on Sunday after sharing a series of emotional and cryptic Instagram stories, which she deleted within minutes of posting. The now-viral screenshots hinted at a major personal upheaval, triggering widespread speculation about her mental and emotional well-being.
In the first story, Neha appeared to announce a sudden withdrawal from her current life, writing that she wanted to step away from “responsibilities, relationships, work and everything” she could think of. She added that she was unsure whether she would return, ending the message with a brief note of gratitude.
Shortly after, the singer posted another message directly appealing to the media and the public. In it, she requested paparazzi and fans to stop filming her and asked for privacy. “Let me live freely in this world,” she wrote, urging people to respect her space and refrain from using cameras. Both posts were deleted within minutes, but screenshots quickly circulated across social media platforms.
Neha has not issued any clarification so far, leaving fans to speculate about the reason behind the emotional posts. Many believe the reaction could be linked to the harsh criticism surrounding her recent single Candy Shop, released in December 2025 with her brother Tony Kakkar. The song faced heavy backlash online, with users mocking its choreography, visuals and comparisons to K-pop aesthetics, turning it into meme material.
This episode follows another difficult moment for the singer earlier in 2025, when a video of her breaking down on stage during a Melbourne concert went viral. The incident, reportedly triggered by event mismanagement and audience backlash, had drawn mixed reactions and added to concerns about the pressures she faces in the public eye.
For now, Neha Kakkar’s silence has only deepened the concern among fans, many of whom are hoping the singer takes the time she needs to prioritise her well-being.
