Salman Khan cancels US event by Pakistani promoter

Indian actor Salman Khan has cancelled a performance which he was to deliver at an event organized by a Pakistani national in the United States, reported IANS.

"Having learnt that you along with you contemporaries are scheduled to perform in the USA on November 17th, 2019 that is organised by a Pakistani national Moazzma Hunain, we at FWICE are requesting for you reversal step that would delink your participation from the said event," a statement issued by FWICE read:
