Mumbai, June 24 (NationPress) Global sensation Diljit Dosanjh finds himself at the center of controversy regarding his latest film ‘Sardaar Ji 3’. Following criticism over the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, a video of him speaking fluent English has gained traction online.
In the clip shared on Reddit, Diljit is seen conversing in English with Grammy President Harvey Mason Jr.. One user commented, "When the Grammy President calls, you can’t pretend to not know English anymore." Another user remarked, "Everything about him in the public domain is a lie!!" A third quipped, "OMG, he was pretending not to know English all along, lmao. What a phony!"
The release of this video appears to be suspiciously timed, emerging just after the uproar concerning ‘Sardaar Ji 3’. Initially, when the same clip was uploaded two weeks prior, it received praise from media outlets for showcasing Diljit’s English skills on a global stage.
The backlash intensified following Hania’s role in the film, especially in light of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, marked by missile exchanges during India’s counter-terrorism operation named Operation Sindoor, executed in response to a terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam by Pakistani proxies.
Previously, the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) condemned Hania Aamir’s involvement in the project. The association's president, Suresh Shyamlal Gupta, called for a nationwide boycott of the film and urged artists across India’s film industries to avoid collaborating with Diljit on any future projects, including live performances.
