In a heartfelt announcement on social media, Salman Khan revealed the postponement of his much-anticipated
The Bollywood Big One UK tour,
which was set to feature performances by Madhuri Dixit, Varun Dhawan, and others. Originally scheduled for May 4 and 5, the shows in Manchester and London have been delayed in response to the tragic Pahalgam attack in Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives.
Salman Khan shared his decision via Instagram, posting an event poster with a poignant caption. He expressed deep sadness over recent events, stating, “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.” Acknowledging fans’ anticipation, Salman shared, “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.” He further apologized for any disappointment, promising new dates will be announced soon.
The attack’s aftermath has led to several cancellations within the Hindi film industry. Aamir Khan, another prominent figure, also voiced his distress, revealing that he skipped the screening for the re-release of “Andaz Apna Apna.” Such industry-wide impacts underscore the tragedy’s profound effects.
This decision by Salman Khan, while disheartening for fans, reflects the respect and empathy the entertainment industry extends during such somber times. As the situation unfolds, audiences worldwide await further news on the rescheduled tour dates, remaining hopeful that the spirit of Bollywood will shine again.
