BookMyShow cancels Punjabi singer Shubh's show after #UninstallBookMyShow trends

After #UninstallBookMyShow trends on X over Punjabi singer Shubh alleged support to Khalistan, the BookMyShow app on Wednesday cancelled his India tour and it will do a complete refund of the tickets within 7-10 days.

 

 

 

This comes after the ticket-booking app faced a boycott call on social media for hosting a singer who is allegedly a Khalistani sympathizer.

 

"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," it said.

 

 

 

 

Earlier in the day, a #UninstallBookMyShow was trending on X with some calling Shubh, as the singer is popularly known as, a 'Khalistani' and supporter of separatist leaders.

 

His support for Khalistan came after he shared a distorted map of India a few months ago.

 

 

Soon after this went viral, several developments started to take place.  Boat, the Indian electronics brand, terminated its sponsorship from the tour of Canada-based singer and Khalistan supporter Shubneet Singh alias Shubh. Cricketer Virat Kohli, who was a fan of the singer and used to follow him on Instagram started to unfollow him.
