Salman Khan Announces Postponement of Bollywood Big One Tour Due to Pahalgam Terror Attack
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has announced the postponement of his upcoming Bollywood Big One Tour, originally scheduled for May 4-5 in the UK, in light of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir. The tour, featuring personalities such as Sara Ali Khan, Tiger Shroff, Varun Dhawan, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Kriti Sanon, Disha Patani, Sunil Grover, and Maniesh Paul, was postponed due to the tragic events in Kashmir.
In a statement shared on Instagram, Salman wrote, "In light of the recent tragic events in Kashmir, and with profound sadness, we have taken the difficult decision to request the promoters to postpone The Bollywood Big One shows, originally scheduled for May 4th and 5th in Manchester and London." He added, "We sincerely apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause and deeply appreciate your understanding and support. New dates for the shows will be announced shortly."
The terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which claimed around 26 lives, involved the terrorists segregating tourists based on their faith and shooting them dead after discovering their religion. The terrorist outfit, The Resistance Front (TRF), has claimed responsibility for the attack. TRF is an off-shoot of the Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba and came into existence following the historic abrogation of Article 370 in the valley.
Several personalities, including Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal, have canceled their concerts in light of the Pahalgam attack. Arijit Singh had also called off his upcoming concert in Chennai. Shreya shared a note on her stories, stating, "In light of the recent and tragic events, the organisers along with the artist have collectively made the decision to cancel the upcoming show scheduled to happen in Surat this Saturday, April 26th." She assured attendees that they would receive full refunds for their tickets, which would be reflected in their original payment source.
