On September 19, 2023, Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli unfollowed Canadian Punjabi singer Shubh on Instagram. This came after Shubh posted a distorted map of India on social media, which was missing Jammu & Kashmir, North-East, and Punjab. The post sparked widespread outrage in India, with many people accusing Shubh of supporting Khalistani separatists.
Kohli, who is a known fan of Shubh’s music, was disappointed with the singer’s post. He unfollowed him as a way of showing his disapproval. Kohli’s decision was praised by many fans, who appreciated his stand for India’s integrity.
Shubh has since apologized for his post, but the damage has already been done. He has been forced to cancel his upcoming India tour, and his reputation has taken a hit.
Kohli’s decision to unfollow Shubh is a reminder that celebrities have a responsibility to be mindful of what they post on social media. Their words and actions can have a significant impact on their fans and followers.
