‘Not sure if I’ll be back’: Neha Kakkar announces ‘break from relationships, work’ after brutal ‘Candy Shop’ backlash

  • Singer Neha Kakkar took to Instagram earlier today, January 19, to announce a break from responsibilities, relationships, work and asked fans and paparazzi to respect her privacy.
  • Weeks after its December 15, 2025 release, Candy Shop went viral on social media, earning over 23 million YouTube views but facing criticism for vulgar lyrics and cringe dance moves.
  • Composed, written and produced by Tony Kakkar, Candy Shop features vocals by both Tony and Neha Kakkar, who often collaborates with her brother and is related to playback singer Sonu Kakkar and husband Rohanpreet Singh.
  • Concerned fans reacted to Neha Kakkar’s two Instagram posts, while news reports note uncertainty about the posts' cause and the backlash to `Candy Shop` as a possible factor.
  • In a separate Instagram Story, Neha asked paparazzi and fans not to film her, using the phrasing `This is the least you all can give me for my peace`, and one post included a brief sign-off, `Thank you`.
