On April 9, Sonu Kakkar, a respected playback singer herself, posted on Twitter and Instagram:
“It is with great sadness that I inform you all that I am no longer the sister of two talented superstars, Tony Kakkar and Neha Kakkar. My decision has come out of emotional pain and I am truly disappointed today.”
The post immediately went viral, sparking speculation about a family rift within the well-known musical trio. However, the post was deleted shortly afterward, adding to the mystery and confusion surrounding the issue.
The speculation intensified as fans noted that Sonu was absent from Tony Kakkar’s birthday celebration on April 9, which both Neha and Tony celebrated publicly. The timing of her absence, followed by the emotional post, has fueled rumors of a fallout within the Kakkar family.
This incident follows a similar episode just days ago when singer Amaal Malik publicly declared he was severing ties with his family, only to delete the post hours later. These sudden emotional declarations from artists have prompted discussions around mental health and personal boundaries in the public eye.
As of now, Neha Kakkar and Tony Kakkar have not responded publicly to Sonu’s post. Fans are awaiting clarification, while many have expressed concern and support for the siblings, hoping for reconciliation.
Sonu, Neha, and Tony Kakkar have long been celebrated as one of Bollywood’s most successful musical sibling trios, with numerous chart-topping songs and independent releases to their credit. The family’s public image has been one of close-knit support and collaboration, making this apparent fallout all the more surprising.
