Shubh’s Controversial Social Media Post and Its Aftermath

This article is about Social Media Shocker: Why Did Kohli, Rahul, and Pandya Hit ‘Unfollow’ on Punjabi Sensation Shubh? Shubh, a singer originally from Punjab but now living in Canada, is facing a lot of criticism because of a controversial post he made about India on social media. In this post, he shared a map of India that left out Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, and the North-Eastern regions. This happened at the same time when the Punjab Police were looking for someone named Amritpal Singh.

Shubh’s real name is Shubhneet Singh, and he had plans to visit India from September 23 to 25 for a music tour. But just before his tour was about to start, his post caused a lot of people to question whether he supports a group called Khalistani separatists.

Social Media Shocker: Why Did Kohli, Rahul, and Pandya Hit ‘Unfollow’ on Punjabi Sensation Shubh?

A group called Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha (BJYM), which is part of a political party called Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), strongly asked for Shubh’s concert in India to be canceled because they thought he supported Khalistani separatists.

This caused the companies sponsoring Shubh’s concert in Mumbai, a brand called BoAt, to withdraw their support. Then, Book My Show, the website where people buy tickets online, confirmed on a social media platform called X that Shubh’s tour was canceled.

Indian Cricketers Unfollowing Shubh on Instagram

Additionally, some well-known Indian cricketers, like Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and KL Rahul, stopped following Shubh on Instagram. It’s interesting to note that not too long ago, Kohli had praised Shubh’s talent and even said he was his favorite artist.

But now, because of this situation, Kohli unfollowed Shubh on social media. Still, Shubh has a big following online with over one million followers on Instagram and 13 million people listening to his music every month on Spotify.
