Singer Shreya Ghoshal has decided to cancel her upcoming concert in Surat scheduled for April 26, 2025, following the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The decision to cancel the show was made jointly by Ghoshal and the event organizers as a mark of respect for the victims of the tragic incident.

The cancellation was officially announced on April 25 through a statement released by both Ghoshal and the organizers. The statement expressed the collective grief and concern over the violent attack that occurred in Pahalgam. “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 26,” the statement read.

The terrorist attack took place on April 22, when armed militants dressed in fatigues opened fire on tourists at Baisaran meadow, a popular destination in Pahalgam. The attack claimed the lives of several people, primarily tourists, and injured others. The terrorists targeted the area, which was bustling with visitors, leaving the community in shock and mourning.

Shreya Ghoshal, known for her soulful voice and massive fanbase, expressed her condolences and solidarity with the victims’ families. The cancellation of the concert came as a show of respect for the victims and to acknowledge the gravity of the situation.

In the same statement, the organizers reassured ticket holders that they would receive full refunds for their purchases. “All ticket holders will receive full refunds, the amount will be automatically refunded back to your original mode of payment,” the statement assured, providing clarity and comfort to fans who had been eagerly awaiting the concert.

The cancellation of the Surat concert is not just a response to the attack itself, but also an expression of empathy and sensitivity in times of national distress. Shreya Ghoshal’s decision to prioritize the safety and emotional well-being of her fans and the general public reflects the responsibility and care that public figures often shoulder during such challenging times.

The Pahalgam attack has deeply impacted the region, with many calling for heightened security measures and a firm response to combat terrorism. The attack has led to increased tensions in Jammu and Kashmir, as well as in other parts of India, with many events being reconsidered or cancelled in the aftermath.

While the cancellation of the Surat concert may have disappointed fans, the priority for Shreya Ghoshal and the organizers was clear: ensuring that the focus remains on the victims of the attack and the safety of the public.
