Singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has been surrounded by controversy after he worked with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3 . After the trailer was shared on his Instagram page, netizens trolled Diljit for working with a Pakistani actress amid India and Pakistan tension.
The casting decision has led to criticism and netizens demanded Diljit to ouster from Border 2.
Diljit Dosanjh says that he belongs to her
In an interview with Grammy President Panos A Panay, Diljit did not mention the controversy but shared his opinion on art, peace, and borders. He said, “Countries are at war, and we don’t have control over these things. But I believe music is something that unites nations. I feel blessed to be part of something that spreads love across nations.” Diljit also said that he thinks that we need to look beyond nations and focus on Mother Earth. He also added that all these borders are part of the same Mother Earth and he belongs to her. The Punjabi munda said that he does not wish to comment on political matters as he said that politics is a different space and he does not want to make blunders by speaking out of turn. He said that for him every second is precious and he wants to live it to the fullest. For the uninitiated, after the trailer of Sardaar Ji 3 featuring Hania Aamir was released, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) called for a ban on Diljit and all his projects in India. FWICE President BN Tiwari said that Diljit has hurt Indian sentiments by working with a Pakistani actor and has disrespected the sentiments of the nation. He also said that Diljit had insulted the sacrifice of our brave soldiers. Sardaar Ji 3 is set to release outside India on June 27.
