Diljit Dosanjh, who is often celebrated for his magnetic stage presence, humour, and successful ventures across India and abroad, is currently at the centre of controversy due to his latest film Sardaar Ji 3.
The buzz is not just about the movie’s release, but about the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, who plays a key role opposite Diljit. This decision has triggered a wave of backlash, especially given the ongoing political tensions between India and Pakistan.
As social media heats up with criticism, some fans and industry insiders have called for a boycott of the singer-actor. However, popular singer Guru Randhawa has now thrown a curveball into the ongoing narrative by posting a cryptic message on X (formerly Twitter), hinting that the controversy might be a calculated PR move rather than genuine public outrage.
Guru Randhawa wrote,
"When the PR team is more talented than the Talent itself, controversies become part of the daily routine. The day is near when our people will open their eyes and know the truth. LOL. 1st of every month, dropping bombs. God Bless the Fake PR and the artists."
An X user reacted,
"Completely PR gimmick by @diljitdosanjh. Last time he wrote Panjab. I thought he did it by mistake. Guy knows how to remain relevant. His audience is big overseas. Pure businessman. Currently, AP Dhillon, Karan Aujla, and Guru Randhawa all don't like him. They have openly come up against him. He knows you have to play an emotional card, a shrewd-minded person."
Another user added,
"Let the people earn paaaji, their work is to create controversy to get attention."
A more sarcastic take came from another corner of the internet:
"No Diljit Dosanjh was hurt here."
Amidst the swirl of opinions, Diljit himself has responded to the backlash in his own way, stating,
"Mujhe koi rok nahi sakta" and reaffirming that he has "no desire to become a Bollywood star."
