Singer Shreya Ghoshal has cancelled her upcoming performance in Surat in the wake of the devastating terrorist attack that killed 26 civilians in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22. The performance, which was a part of her "All Hearts Tour," was planned for the Pandit Dindayal Upadhyay Indoor Stadium on April 26.
In a joint statement shared on Instagram, both Ghoshal and the organisers expressed their collective decision to cancel the event, citing the recent and tragic events. The statement read:
"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. All ticket holders will receive full refunds, and the amount will be automatically refunded back to your original mode of payment. Thank you for your understanding."
Following the Pahalgam attack, Ghoshal shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, expressing her sorrow and solidarity with the victims:
"I can't stop thinking about Pahalgam. About the silence that must've followed the chaos. About the families whose worlds will never be the same again. It breaks my heart to know that lives were lost in such a beautiful, peaceful place, lives that had nothing to do with violence, yet became its victim. This is a wound to the soul of our nation. My heart goes out to every family shattered by this senseless violence. We grieve with you. And we will remember."
