In a controversial outburst, Bollywood playback singer Mika Singh publicly criticized Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh, calling him a “fake singer” for working alongside Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in the upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3. The remarks have sparked outrage and debate across social media platforms.
“He’s Betraying His Indian Fans,” Says Mika
Taking to social media, Mika Singh posted a video slamming Diljit for "ignoring national sentiment" by collaborating with an actor from Pakistan amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
“Millions of Indian fans support you, and you work with someone from across the border? That’s betrayal,” Mika said.
He further added that Diljit’s actions hurt the sentiments of Indians who see him as a cultural icon and nationalist figure.
Background: The Sardaar Ji 3 Controversy
The backlash started when photos and video clips from the sets of Sardaar Ji 3 went viral, featuring Diljit and Hania Aamir shooting together. While the producers defended the casting decision as a creative choice, many netizens and celebrities have questioned the timing and political tone-deafness of the move.
Diljit Responds With Silence
So far, Diljit Dosanjh has chosen not to respond directly to the criticism. However, he did share an Instagram story stating:
"Producers ka bohut paisa laga hua hai. It’s work, not war.”
This neutral stance has received mixed reactions from fans — some appreciating his professionalism, others accusing him of sidestepping larger ethical concerns.
Industry Divided Over the Issue
While Mika Singh has taken a firm public stance, other celebrities have refrained from weighing in, pointing out the sensitive nature of Indo-Pak cultural exchanges. Industry insiders say the backlash could affect the marketing and release of Sardaar Ji 3.
