A post shared by DILJIT DOSANJH (@diljitdosanjh)
Diljit Dosanjh is being trolled on social media over casting Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in his latest Punjabi movie Sardaar Ji 3.
On Sunday night, Diljit Dosanjh shared the trailer on his Instagram page. "Sardaar Ji 3 Releasing 27th June OVERSEAS Only FADH LAO BHOOND DIAN LATTAN," he captioned his post.
The Amar Singh Chamkila star's team also posted the link of Sohni Lagdi, a song from Sardaar Ji 3 featuring Diljit Dosanjh and Hania Aamir. The track will be out today. "Sohni lagdi - Song Out Tomorrow Diljit x @haniaheheofficial," read the caption.
The trailer of Sardaar Ji 3 is unavailable on YouTube India. "The uploader has not made this video available in your country," reads the message. The teaser and songs of the film are still available.
Aamir didn't feature in the teaser, which was released earlier. Popular Punjabi actor Neeru Bajwa is also part of the film.
Why Is Diljit Dosanjh Getting Brickbats For Co-Starring With Hania Aamir In Sardaar Ji 3
Instagram accounts of Hania Aamir and several other Pakistani stars, including Mahira Khan, Sanam Saeed, and Ali Zafar were blocked in India following a "legal request" in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack in April.
Following the 2016 Uri attack, the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) banned Pakistani actors from working in Indian films. Several film bodies in India, including the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), reiterated its stand against Pakistani artistes in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025.
Hania Aamir was also criticised for anti-India remarks following Operation Sindoor.
What The Internet Is Saying
Many Diljit Dosanjh fans on social media were disappointed.
This was Hania Aamir degrading our India during Op. Sindoor. He and some of our celebrities seriously deserve ban from our industry . Remember this before giving reach, views to this. https://t.co/AVUXz57TB3 pic.twitter.com/yVSAw2oqfm

"This was Hania Aamir degrading our India during Op. Sindoor. He and some of our celebrities seriously deserve a ban from our industry . Remember this before giving reach, views to this," said an X user.
Another called for a boycott of the film.
So now Diljit drops a trailer with Hania Aamir the same actress who called Operation Sindoor "sinister"?
No outrage. No boycott. Just vibes?
Imagine the reaction if the roles were reversed.
Selective outrage is the real plague.
Shameful. #DiljitDosanjh #HaniaAamir #sardarji3 pic.twitter.com/ZhTajquH9n

One of the users on X called Hania Aamir's casting in Sardaar Ji 3 "absolutely disgraceful".
Absolutely disgraceful! 🚨

"Hania Aamir's hypocrisy and Diljit Dosanjh's betrayal of Bharat Mata by cozying up to a Pakistani actress after Operation Sindoor's bold strike against terror are a slap in the face to every proud Indian! #BoycottDiljit #BanPakArtists #IndiaFirst Our jawans sacrificed their lives to protect us, and these so-called "stars" spit on that valor for cheap fame. Time to stand united NO TOLERANCE for anti-national agendas! Jai Hind!" she wrote.
Fans also spoke their mind in Diljit Dosanjh's comments box on Instagram.
There were also a handful who praised Diljit Dosanjh for his courage.
Want to say - Hania Aamir & Diljit Dosanjh faced a lot of heat due to the recent Indian aggression. Diljit was under heavy pressure for starring a Pakistani, yet launched the movie despite not being permitted in India.
What an absolute legend!

Diljit Dosanjh And Hania Aamir's Association
Last October, Hania Aamir, along with her friends, attended Diljit Dosanjh's London concert as part of his Dil-Luminati Tour. At the time, videos of Diljit Dosanjh inviting Hania Aamir to the stage of the O2 Arena and singing his popular song Lover for the star of Pakistani serials such as Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum and Mere Humsafar went viral on social media.
Days after the show, Hania Aamir shared a series of pictures from the show and penned a heartfelt note for Diljit Dosanjh on Instagram. "Hona ni mai recover what a night," she began her post, referring to Lover.
"It was magic. The love, the respect, the soul. Impeccable. It was all heart. @diljitdosanjh sir ek he dil hai kitni dafa jeeto ge. Pyar aur sirt pyar. The entire team is just. An honour to have come across so many beautiful souls. Truly memorable. Thank you for all your love and warmth @sonalisingh love and duas @kreposit thanks for capturing the moments (sic)" she had written on Instagram.
In A Nutshell
Diljit Dosanjh is in the middle of a controversy over co-starring with Pakistani star Hania Aamir in his new movie Sardaar Ji 3. There's a ban on Pakistani artistes against featuring in Indian films; the calls against actors from across the border got louder after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025.
Diljit Dosanjh is no stranger to controversies. His film Punjab 95, based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, is yet to see the light of the day.

Keerthy Suresh Radiates Bohemian Glamour In A Whimsical Patchwork Gown
Keerthy Suresh dazzles in a pastel patchwork gown, twirling with effortless grace and bohemian charm. Keerthy Suresh's sartorial choices have always reflected an innate understanding of elegance laced with individuality, and her latest Instagram post captioned 'Twirls, Swirls and Smiles 🩵💛" is no exception. In these pictures, the National Award-winning actor embodies a romantic, free-spirited muse, reveling in movement, colour, and charm. Her ensemble is a masterclass in modern bohemian glamour. The off-shoulder gown, awash in a medley of pastels, geometric overlays, and delicate floral motifs, is a visual symphony that celebrates both whimsy and refinement. With its corseted bodice and sweeping, voluminous skirt, the silhouette accentuates femininity while offering fluidity, perfect for the cinematic swirls she strikes in front of the lens. The patchwork-inspired patterning recalls a painter's canvas, lending the look both artistry and lightness, an ode to eclectic yet controlled maximalism. The styling embraces restraint, allowing the dress to command attention while punctuating it with carefully curated accents. A bold chain-link necklace with a vintage-inspired pendant adds gravitas at the décolletage, while an emerald statement ring offers an intriguing contrast to the pastel palette. Her choice of metallic heels is clever, subtle in shine yet elongated in form, grounding the otherwise airy aesthetic without weighing it down. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Keerthy Suresh (@keerthysureshofficial) Beauty remains understated, luminous, and evocative of summer romance. Her eyes glimmer with a wash of iridescent pink, paired with softly flushed cheeks and a muted rose lip, echoing the hues in her gown. The look feels sun-kissed and effortless, underscoring her natural radiance. Her hair, left in loose, voluminous waves, mirrors the dress's fluidity, carefree yet undeniably polished. But perhaps the most compelling accessory here is Keerthy herself. The candidness of her smile, the joy in her twirl, the uninhibited spirit she channels, all converge to make this moment not merely a fashion statement but a celebration of movement and mood. Her caption 'Twirls, Swirls and Smiles 🩵💛" becomes more than a phrase; it is the very essence of the imagery, encapsulating lightness, freedom, and feminine grace. With this look, Keerthy Suresh reminds us that true style lies not just in fabric or form but in the energy with which one wears it.
