Expressing their disappointment over the poor coordination and execution of the Atlanta show, one recalled a disheartening experience where they saw how kids were badly treated. They wrote, “Unfortunately, what we witnessed was complete chaos— small kids being pushed and even stampeded. I personally saw children caught in potentially dangerous situations, which was extremely concerning. Going forward, please consider partnering only with capable and experienced organizers for such events. Poor management not only affects the fan experience but can also harm your credibility, which we know you’ve built with so much hard work over the years.”
Another Instagram user revealed, “I am a parent of my little girl Kiara who is part of Arya dancing group. Yesterday right when kids got on state to perform, their song began and immediately they were pushed off stage. I have the video that shows shocked and scared kids being rushed off stage. My 9yr daughter expressed her fear where all kids were scared crying and and hugging each other behind stage. They performed for weeks leading to this amazing event and they are traumatised. We as kids get scarred if something little to us as adults but not so little to them as these are their first experiences.”
As per the announcement, Hrithik will be meeting with his fans in New Jersey on April 10, in Chicago on April 12 and in the Bay Area on April 13.
