Arijit Singh Postpones Abu Dhabi Show Amid India, Pakistan Tension; Deets Inside
Last Updated:
This comes a day after India launched retaliatory strikes on 9 terror sites in Pakistan.
Superstar singer Arijit Singh has pushed the date of his upcoming live show in Abu Dhabi in light of the tense situation between India and Pakistan. On Thursday, Arijit's team took to their Instagram and shared a note in which he spoke about pushing the May 9 show to a later date.
They wrote, 'Dear Fans, due to recent events, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the Arijit Singh live concert in Abu Dhabi, originally scheduled for 9 May 2025, at the Etihad Arena, Yas Island. We deeply appreciate your patience, support and understanding during this time. We are working closely with the venue and the new date will be announced soon".
The team further mentioned that the purchased tickets for the show will remain valid for the new date, or attendees can also opt for a full refund. 'All purchased tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled date, or you may opt for a full refund within 7 days, starting 12 May 2025 (Monday). Thank you for your continued love and support, we look forward to creating unforgettable memories with you soon. With love, Team Arijit Singh Live", it added.
This comes after India launched retaliatory strikes on 9 terror sites in Pakistan, after Pakistan sponsored terrorists claimed 26 lives in Pahalgam last month.
After the attack as well, Arijit Singh had cancelled his concert in Chennai. He took to the Stories section of his Instagram, and shared a note from the organisers of the event notifying his fans of the cancellation of the show.
The deadly terror attack on the tourists claimed more than 20 lives including a local, who fought the terrorists and tried to snatch their gun, when he was shot at. The terrorist segregated the tourists based on their faith and shot them after finding out their religion.
The terrorist outfit, The Resistance Front (TRF), has claimed responsibility for the attack. TRF is an offshoot of the Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, and came into existence following the historic abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir, which granted a special status to the Indian state, which is now a union territory.

Netflix's Ted Sarandos on Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui's 'Sacred Games': 'We were introducing something...'
'I thought this is going to be great,' Sarandos said. 'People in India love movies. This is a TV show that feels as big as a movie - it has movie stars.' read more In a wide-ranging conversation with Nikhil Kamath, Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos looked back on the platform's early creative choices in India - particularly Sacred Games, its very first Indian original. 'I thought this is going to be great,' Sarandos said. 'People in India love movies. This is a TV show that feels as big as a movie - it has movie stars.' But Sacred Games turned out to be more than just a hit show. It marked a paradigm shift in how long-form entertainment could be consumed in India. Sarandos noted, 'It was very, very novel, but I didn't realize that we were going to be introducing a brand new kind of entertainment to a country the size of India.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD At the time, India's television landscape was largely defined by sports, talk shows, and family dramas - very different from the cinematic format Netflix was offering. 'There was nothing else like it,' he reflected, highlighting the difference between existing formats and the kind of 'cinema-infused television' Netflix was producing globally. Sarandos also touched upon the timing of the show's launch: 'If I did it all over again, would I have done Sacred Games a couple of years later, maybe.' But rather than viewing it as premature, the comments frame Sacred Games as a bold, foundational move - one that helped define the tone and ambition for streaming content in India. Its early arrival set the stage for a market that was just beginning to evolve. He also acknowledged the broader learning curve: 'Early on, it took us a couple of years to get the product-market fit right including payment systems and all those things.' Yet, even then, the bet on India was clear. 'We knew that India was going to be a slower journey… but it's a great prize at the end of the day.' That long-term view is now paying off. 'Right now, you can see how fast Indian households are adopting fixed broadband, big-screen TV is growing - the addressable market in India is exploding in the next couple of years. So it's exciting.'

Has Ivanka Trump distanced herself from MAGA? Her recent action 'subtly shading' father Donald Trump sparks buzz
Ivanka Trump recently shared a photograph on social media platform Instagram promoting a book written by a vocal critic of her father, President Donald Trump , sparking buzz online. She appeared to distance herself even further from the MAGA movement after promoting a book written by an author who actively campaigned against her father during the 2024 election cycle. The President's eldest daughter posted a shot of 'Untamed' Glennon Doyle's 2020 memoir , amongst a collection of photographs documenting the highlights of her week, according to The Independent. The post appeared on Ivanka's Instagram story. Ivanka Trump supports father's critics Ivanka Trump has chosen to openly support one of her father President Donald Trump's model-turned-business-woman has stepped away from the limelight, solely sharing glimpses into her glam life that includes lavish rehearsal dinners and Miami boat rides. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Make the move from OpenAI to Open Source Intel® Xeon® Learn More Undo This week, she shared an array of photos showing her 'week in Miami,' which includes working out, eating gourmet meals, spending time with her family and friends and lastly, but most intriguingly, reading Glennon Doyle 's book Untamed. The novel's synopsis says, 'It is the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each member's ability to bring her full self to the table.' Live Events The book topped the New York Times bestseller list, but that wasn't what truly captured her fans' attention. The author has been an outspoken critic of the President and even publicly endorsed Kamala Harris during his presidential campaign last fall. When the former Vice President replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee last summer, she expressed support for Harris—while also taking a subtle jab at the sitting President. 'Winning this election to save America' On Instagram, she said, 'Winning this election to save America from fascism will be hard. WE CAN DO HARD THINGS. AND WE WILL. No more fear. We gotta BELIEVE and we gotta WORK. CHINS UP SHOULDERS BACK: Let's effing go." "Listen at link to our incredible conversation with the future POTUS @KamalaHarris about her vision for America, Roe v. Wade, and HOW WE MUST RECLAIM PATRIOTISM.' Untamed is Doyle's memoir, described on Amazon as a story about how she "learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. It is the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each member's ability to bring her full self to the table." A few weeks before the results of the election was announced, she also said, 'If Trump wins, we lose, out daughters will have fewer rights than our mothers.' Her dislike for the President extends for the past decade, even when he was running for President for the first time in 2016. A month before that election, she took to Facebook with another strong message, stating, 'I am an American woman and I am appalled and furious that people I know and respect might vote into the presidency a man who brags about sexual assault. Go ahead, list the excuses for this. There are none.' 'There's a hell of a lot of misogyny surfacing right now and silence about it is a CHOICE,' she continued. 'If you are a woman or love a woman Speak Up Now before it's too late.'
