This isn’t the first time Shubh has faced controversy. In September, his India tour was canceled due to allegations of his support for Khalistan, a movement seeking an independent Sikh state. The cancellation came in the wake of the India-Canada diplomatic row over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

The previous controversy involved an old Instagram post by Shubh in which he shared a distorted map of India that omitted the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and the Northeastern states. Alongside the map, he had written “Pray for Punjab.” After facing backlash, he deleted the post and replaced it with a simple “Pray for Punjab” message.
