Mumbai, June 26 (NationPress) Punjabi singer and actor Guru Randhawa recently became the target of online backlash after he seemingly made an indirect remark aimed at Diljit Dosanjh amidst the controversy surrounding the film “Sardaar Ji 3.”
Randhawa encountered criticism from Diljit Dosanjh’s supporters over his ambiguous posts, interpreted as subtle jabs at the singer-actor, indirectly alluding to the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in the forthcoming film.
On his X account, the High Rated Gabru singer tweeted on Thursday, “Lakh pardesi hoyieee Apna desh nhi bhandi daa Jehre mulk da khayie us da bura nhi mangi da Even if now your citizenship is not indian but you were born here pls remember this. This country made great artists and we all are proud of it. Pls be proud of where you were born. Just an advice.

In the comments section, Diljit Dosanjh’s fans criticized Guru Randhawa for his cryptic messages, accusing him of shading the casting of Hania Aamir. One user remarked, “Grow up guru.” Another commented, “It seems like you are the one who is in desperate need to start a controversy for your PR cuz just few months ago you were promoting your movie shahkot about Pakistan.”
One more user chimed in, “That’s All Straight Jealously.” Another user wrote, “First try to sing a song without mentioning Lahore in it.”
Despite the backlash, several users also showed support for Guru Randhawa.

Amid the rising criticism, the producers of ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ issued an official statement on June 25, clarifying that Pakistani actress Hania Aamir was cast prior to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. They also stressed that the film’s shooting concluded before the recent escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan.
The statement read, “This is to bring to everyone's kind notice that the film, named 'Sardaar Ji 3', was shot well before the prevailing situation that our country is facing right now, and it was never the case that any Pakistani artist was signed or was engaged after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam (sic).”
The statement also indicated that the decision to delay the film’s release in India was made considering the sensitive circumstances.
