Canada based Punjabi singer Shubh’s India tour is now cancelled. The singer, who is formally known as Shubhneet Singh, was slated to perform in multiple locations in India, including Mumbai. But days before the concert, he sparked an outrage after he shared a distorted map of India on his Instagram Stories. This led to massive cricitism, with many calling him out for his action. He was also accused of supporting separatist Khalistani elements. Amid the controversy, BookMyShow announced that Shubh’s India tour has been cancelled.
“Singer Shubhneet Singh’s Still Rollin Tour for India stands cancelled. To that end, BookMyShow has initiated a complete refund of the ticket amount for all consumers who had purchased tickets for the show. The refund will be reflected within 7-10 working days in the customer’s source account of the original transaction,” the platform said. BookMyShow has not commented on the ongoing outrage.
However, the move has come shortly after the brand boAt withdrew its sponsorship for Shubh’s India tour. BoAt said on X (previously known as Twitter), “At boAt, while our commitment to the incredible music community runs deep, we are first & foremost a true Indian brand. Therefore, when we became aware of the remarks made by artist Shubh earlier this year, we chose to withdraw our sponsorship from the tour.”
For the unversed, Shubh was scheduled to perform in Mumbai from September 23 to 25 as part of the Cruise Control 4.0 event. He had also planned a three-month-long tour in India. He was slated to perform in several cities including New Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad during this period.
Shubh is yet to react to the outrage. He has also been away from social media since September 4.
Shubh is a popular singer. He is known for songs like “Elevated,” “OG,” and “Cheaques”. These are widely loved not just in India but across the world.
