In a social media post, Shreya expressed her solidarity with the ongoing protests and wrote, “I am deeply affected by the gruesome and heinous incident tha recently took place in Kolkata. Being a woman myself, the very thought of the sheer brutality that she must have gone through is unthinkable and sends shivers down my spine.”

‘The All Hearts Tour’ was scheduled to have two stops — September 14 in Kolkata followed by Dubai on September 21. However, the singer and her promoters have elected to rescheduled the Kolkata concert in light of the gruesome incident at RG Kar Medical College.

“With an aching heart and with deep sorrow, my promoters (Ishq FM) and I wish to reschedule our concert “Shreya Ghoshal Live, All Hearts Tour Ishq FM Grand Concert” which was originally scheduled for the 14th of September 2024, to a new date in October 2024,” Shreya wrote.

“This concert was highly anticipated by all of us but it is absolutely imperative for me to take a stand and join you all in solidarity. I sincerely pray for the respect and safety of the women in this world, not just our country,” the singer added.
