In light of recent events in Kolkata, singer Shreya Ghoshal has decided to reschedule her highly anticipated concert, which was initially set for September 14, 2024.

On Saturday, Shreya Ghoshal took to social media to share her heartfelt message regarding the postponement. In an Instagram post, she expressed her deep sorrow and concern over the tragic incident that has shocked the city and beyond.
