Indian actress Kangana Ranaut has shocked her fans by sharing Punjabi singer Shubh’s song after getting into a spat with him a few months earlier.
Ranaut shared a story on Instagram on Wednesday with Shubh’s song ‘Cheques’. The move came as a surprise after she had attacked the singer for showing a controversial hoodie during his live performance in London on October 29, 2023.
During the live performance, fans were throwing shirts, jewellery and phones on him as gestures of love and support. A fan threw a hoodie which had the picture and date of the late Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s assassination on a map of Punjab. Gandhi was shot to death by her Sikh guards in 1984 as retaliation for the massacre of their community under her watch.
Kangana Ranaut slammed Shubh for showing the hoodie during the concert.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) she wrote, “Celebrating the cowardly killing of an old woman by those who she appointed as her saviors. When you are trusted to protect but you take advantage of the trust and faith and use the same weapons to kill the ones were suppose to protect then it’s a shameful act of cowardice not of bravery. One must be ashamed of such a cowardly attack on an elderly lady who was disarmed and unaware, a lady who was the chosen leader of a democracy, nothing to glorify here Shubham ji. Shame !!! (Sic).”
Shubh’s Still Rollin Tour for India was cancelled after the controversy and BookMyShow refunded all the tickets. The Indian Consumer electronics company Boat also withdrew sponsorship in response to the outcry.
Shubh then took to Instagram after Kangana attacked him.
He wrote, “No matter what I do, some people will find something to bring it against me. A lot of clothes, jewelry and phones were thrown at me by the audience at my first show in London. I was there to perform, not to see what got thrown at me and what is on it. The team has worked very hard for the last couple of months to perform for you all. Stop spreading hate and negativity.”
Shubh (Shubneet Singh) is a Canada based Punjabi singer, who got fame in desi music with songs ‘We Rollin’ and ‘Offshore’.
