Salman Khan cancels US tour by Pakistani organiser?

Bollywood Bhaijaan Salman Khan has reportedly dropped the US tour which was being organised and handled by a Pakistani national. A fan page of the Dabangg actor announced the news on Twitter.

Mumbai: Superstar Salman Khan has reportedly cancelled a live performance in Houston, United States. Salman's decision is an outcome of the fact that the event was being organised by Rehan Siddiqui, a Pakistani national accused of funding anti-India activities in the US.

The Houston-based Siddiqui has allegedly been involved in using the funds raised from star-studded events to support anti-India activities in the US in the past.

Siddiqui keeps organising musical concerts featuring Bollywood stars and other celebrities regularly and has hosted over 400 such shows till date.

According to news reports, celebrities such as Saif Ali Khan, Mika Singh, Pankaj Udhas and rapper Baadshah have been a part of events hosted by Siddiqui.

The site further reported that Siddiqui is also currently planning to stage anti-CAA protests in Houston along with some Pakistani nationals settled there.

Last year, actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh cancelled a performance hosted by Siddiqui.
