Diljit Dosanjh Trolled Over Fluent English In Viral Video, Fans Say 'He Had The Nation Fooled'
Last Updated:
Diljit Dosanjh faces backlash as a resurfaced video of him speaking English fluently adds to Hania Aamir controversy.
Global superstar Diljit Dosanjh has been caught in the eye of the storm over his latest film 'Sardaar Ji 3'. After the singer-actor faced backlash over inclusion of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in the film, a clip of him talking fluently in English has resurfaced on the Internet. In the video, which was shared on Reddit, Diljit can be seen talking to the Grammy President, Harvey Mason Jr. in English.
One social media user comments under the video, 'When the Grammy President calls, you can no longer continue your act of not knowing English". Another commented, 'Everything about him in the public domain is a lie!!". A third wrote, 'OMG he was acting all along of not knowing english lmao. Such a fake guy (sic)". However, the timing of uploading of the clip seems rather murky as it comes after the controversy surrounding 'Sardaar Ji 3'.
As earlier Diljit's conversation from the same clip, which was originally uploaded 2 weeks ago, was appreciated with media reports claiming netizens lauded Diljit's efforts as he spoke in English on a global platform.
The backlash came in the light of Hania's appearance in the trailer of the film after India and Pakistan traded missiles during India's counter-terror strike on Pakistan in the form of Operation Sindoor, which was put in action after the cowardly attack on tourists in Pahalgam by Pakistan's proxies. Earlier, the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) condemned the inclusion of Hania Aamir in the film. Suresh Shyamlal Gupta, the president of the All Indian Cine Workers Association has issued a statement calling for nationwide boycott of the film, and has also urged artists across the film industries of India to not engage with Diljit in any capacity for any project including live events.

Exclusive - Arjun Chakrabarty on Noyontara: I haven't done much supernatural work before, so reacting to invisible things is a new experience
With a successful career in Bengali industry, Arjun Chakrabarty is now making a bold leap into Hindi TV with a supernatural twist. Starring in an upcoming daily show that blends mystery and drama, the actor opens up about navigating a new industry, handling the pressures of a daily soap, and bringing an emotional depth to his role. In an exclusive chat with Times of India TV, he shares his excitement, the challenges of supernatural storytelling, and the support he's received from his team. Speaking about his transition from Bengali to Hindi industry, Arjun shared, "Everyone dreams of making it big in the Hindi industry and I'm no different. I'm grateful that things are finally falling into place. When asked if he faced a language barrier, he said, "Language was never a hurdle. My whole family is fluent in Hindi. Honestly, I'm probably the least fluent among them. But the script by Shahana Ma'am and the wonderful team of writers helped me tremendously. And of course, our director, Ravi Sir, has been like an elder brother, a true mentor and guide. He's helping all of us grow as performers.' Arjun further shared that his new show, which is a supernatural daily series, is a different kind of story and comes with its own creative challenges. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Are you 18-79 with no funeral insurance?

I haven't really worked in the supernatural space before, so acting in scenes where you're reacting to things that aren't physically present — that's a fresh experience. Plus, since my character can't see ghosts, it's even more mentally engaging. But I'm loving every bit of it." On being asked about the audience's response to the show, he beams. "The reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. Social media lit up with conversations when the promo aired. Viewers are really tuned into Colors' past record with similar shows, and reading the comments not just from my Bengali fans, but from across the country has been truly heartening. Narayani Ma'am, Shruti, Ravi Sir, they all come with their own loyal audiences, and that's added to the excitement. " Having already established himself in the Bengali industry, he admits that stepping into Hindi television feels like starting anew. "Yes, there's a mix of nervousness and excitement. It's a fresh beginning. People in Bengal may know me, but in the Hindi TV space, I'm still being introduced. I love the craft — acting in Hindi, Bengali, or English, as long as I can understand and connect with the role. I'm just hoping for acceptance and continued positivity from the audience. So far, the response has been encouraging. I just hope that continues, and that viewers enjoy what we've created." SALMAN KHAN TAKES A BRUTAL DIG AT SOHAIL'S DIVORCE ON NATIONAL TV
