Tensions are simmering after the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people. And they are spilling over into the entertainment industry. Salman Khan on Monday postponed his UK show titled The Bollywood Big One show saying “it is only right to pause during this time of grief”.
Salman took to Instagram to share the update regarding The Bollywood Big One show, scheduled in May. Apart from Salman, stars including Sara Ali Khan, Varun Dhawan, Madhuri Dixit, Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon, and Sunil Grover, were expected to perform at the gala event, reports Hindustan Times.
The caption read, “In light of the recent tragic events in Kashmir, and with profound sadness, we have taken the difficult decision to postpone The Bollywood Big One shows, originally scheduled for May 4 and 5 in Manchester and London”.
“While we understand how much our fans were looking forward to these performances, we feel it is only right to pause during this time of grief. 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,” it added further.
Salman condemns the Pahalgam attack
Last week, Salman took to X (formerly Twitter) to express grief and denounce the terror attack in Pahalgam. He wrote, “Kashmir, heaven on planet Earth, is turning into hell. Innocent people are being targeted. My heart goes out to their families. Killing even one innocent person is equal to killing the entire universe.”
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, and several other stars also expressed their outrage over the attack.
