Los Angeles: American actor-comedian Kevin Hart has cancelled his upcoming comedy show in India following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Hart, best known for films such as 'Get Hard,' 'The Wedding Ringer,' and the 'Ride Along' series, was scheduled to perform on April 30 in Delhi as part of his comedy special 'Acting My Age,' marking his first show in the country.
In a statement shared on its official Instagram page on Sunday, show organisers District By Zomato announced the cancellation. "Important update: In light of the recent tragic events, we, along with Kevin Hart's team, have decided to cancel the upcoming Delhi show scheduled for April 30th. We are working closely with Kevin Hart's team on a new schedule and will share updates soon," the organisers said. The caption further added, "While we were looking forward to gathering with all of you, we believe it is important to pause and stand in solidarity with those affected."
District By Zomato also informed that full refunds would be issued automatically to ticket holders.
The terror attack in Pahalgam last Tuesday resulted in the deaths of 26 people, most of whom were tourists. In the wake of the tragedy, several other artists, including singers Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal, AP Dhillon, and Papon, also rescheduled their live performances.
