Shubh Breaks Silence Over Hoodie Row After Kangana Called It 'Shameful': 'No Matter What I Do...'

Controversial Punjabi singer Shubh has issued a statement clarifying on the viral hoodie controversy from one of his recent concerts. On Tuesday night, Shubh took to his Instagram stories and urged all to stop spreading hate. He argued that during his live performance, fans threw a number of things on him including clothes and jewellery. He shared that he could not see what was thrown at him and what was imprinted on it.

“No matter what I do, some people will find something to bring it against me. A lot of clothes, jewellery 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 wrote.

It was previously reported that Shubh “glorified Indira Gandhi’s killers in London by wearing hoodie with pic and date of her assassination on the map of Punjab”. However, as Free Press Journal has now claimed that the hoodie had a map of Punjab imprinted on it with a clear outline of its districts. The news portal claims that it did not have the Indira Gandhi illustration.

On Monday, Kangana Ranaut also slammed Shubh for allegedly glorifying former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s killers. “Celebrating the cowardly killing of an old woman by those who she appointed as her saviours. 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,” Kangana wrote. “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!!!” the actress added.

This is not the first time that Shubh is ruling headlines for his alleged controversial acts. Earlier this year, the singer was scheduled to perform in Mumbai as part of the Cruise Control 4.0 event, organized aboard the Cordelia Cruise. Besides this, Shubh also had a three-month-long tour in India under which he was supposed to perform in several other cities including New Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. However, his tour was canclled due to his alleged support to separatist Khalistani elements.
