I have never made anyone wait in my entire life." She also assured people of her determination to give them a good performance despite the disruption

Even after her sincere apology, parts of the audience were not satisfied. Some of the audience members were heard uttering comments like, "This isn't India, you are in Australia," and "We waited for more than two hours. Very good acting. This isn't Indian Idol."
