Mika Singh calls Diljit Dosanjh
New Delhi [India], June 25 (ANI): Musician Mika Singh called Diljit Dosanjh a 'fake singer' and 'irresponsible' after the musician collaborated with the Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his upcoming film 'Sardaar Ji 3'. Taking to his Instagram handle, Mika Singh shared a long note, slamming Diljit for acting 'irresponsibly' by releasing content featuring an artist 'from across the border.' Titled 'Desh Pehle (Nation First)', the note read, 'Guys, as we all know, the relationship between India and Pakistan isn't going well right now. Yet some people continue to act irresponsibly. Before releasing any content that involves artists from across the border, they should think twice - especially when our nation's dignity is involved.' The 'Mauja Hi Mauja' singer recalled the Pakistani actor Fawad Khan and Bollywood actress Vaani Kapoor's movie 'Abir Gulaal', which was banned in India following the Pahalgam terror attack earlier this year. Mika Singh said it's 'shocking' that despite such examples, some artists fail to understand the gravity of the ongoing tensions between the two neighbouring nations. He also slammed Diljit for his silence amid the ongoing controversy, saying he left his fans 'betrayed' and 'helpless'. 'There was a film featuring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor that many of us opposed, and yet, some still don't seem to get the message. What's more shocking is that a fake singer, after doing 10 shows in India with thousands of fans buying tickets, has now disappeared - leaving fans betrayed and helpless,' wrote Mika Singh. Diljit Dosanjh's upcoming film, Sardaar Ji 3, has been receiving a backlash from social media, the music fraternity, and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) after its trailer release. FWICE has condemned Diljit Dosanjh and his team for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in 'Sardaar Ji 3' and demanded action from the Indian government. Citing Aamir's controversial stance against India and her role in spreading anti-India narratives, FWICE has called for the revocation of the filmmaker's passports and a nationwide ban on the film's release in India. The film body also wrote a letter to Bhushan Kumar, Chairman & Managing Director, T-Series, J.P. Dutta, Nidhi Dutta Producers, JP Films, and director Anurag Singh on Tuesday, expressing their disappointment with them for casting Diljit Dosanjh in their upcoming film, Border 2. Amid a storm surrounding his collaboration with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh also took to social media with a cryptic message on Tuesday. Diljit shared a cryptic post on Instagram that read, 'Censored before release?' The post was about the long-awaited film 'Punjab 95', which was delayed due to censorship issues. The film, directed by Honey Trehan and produced by Ronnie Screwvala, tells the story of Khalra, known for uncovering human rights violations during Punjab's militancy era. Meanwhile, on Monday, Diljit shared the trailer of the horror-comedy franchise on his Instagram and announced that the film will be released exclusively overseas on June 27. Diljit captioned the trailer post: 'Sardaar Ji 3 releasing 27th June OVERSEAS only. FADH LAO BHOOND DIAN LATTAN.' The trailer of 'Sardaar Ji 3' is currently not on YouTube India but has been shared by Diljit on his Instagram page. (ANI)

Mika Singh takes veiled dig at Diljit Dosanjh over Sardaar Ji 3 controversy with Hania Aamir: ‘Fake singer... our nation's dignity is involved'
Singer Mika Singh has seemingly taken a sharp swipe at Diljit Dosanjh amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Sardaar Ji 3, which features Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. The backlash comes at a time of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 civilian lives. Without directly naming Diljit, Mika posted a fiery message on his Instagram Stories titled 'Desh Pehle', urging Indian artists to put the country above personal and professional interests. 'Guys, as we all know, the relationship between India and Pakistan isn't going well right now. Yet some people continue to act irresponsibly,' he wrote. 'A fake singer who did 10 shows in India has now disappeared' In his post, Mika criticized unnamed individuals for collaborating with artists across the border. 'Before releasing any content that involves artists from across the border, they should think twice — especially when our nation's dignity is involved,' he said. He also referred to a recent controversy around a film featuring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor that faced opposition. However, the sharpest part of his statement read: 'What's more shocking is that a fake singer, after doing 10 shows in India with thousands of fans buying tickets, has now disappeared — leaving fans betrayed and helpless.' Though Mika didn't drop any names, his words, paired with a photo of both himself and Diljit, strongly pointed toward Dosanjh, who has been touring internationally. FWICE demands boycott of Sardaar Ji 3 The controversy began after the trailer for Sardaar Ji 3 dropped, prompting the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) to call for a boycott. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Now Available in Lagos - See Prices! Container Homes | Search Ads Search Now Their objection stems from the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, which they say is disrespectful to Indian sentiments during a sensitive time. FWICE President BN Tiwari told Hindustan Times, 'By working with a Pakistani actor, Diljit has hurt Indian sentiments. He has disrespected the sentiments of the nation and insulted the sacrifice of our brave soldiers. His preference for Pakistani talent over Indian artists raises serious questions about his loyalty and priorities.' Diljit Dosanjh Faces Massive Backlash Over 'Sardaar Ji 3' Casting | Industry Boycott Looms Diljit Dosanjh responds: 'The film was shot before tensions escalated' Responding to the growing backlash, Diljit Dosanjh clarified in an interview with BBC Asian Network that Sardaar Ji 3 was filmed earlier this year, before the political climate worsened. 'Jab yeh film bani thi tab situation sab theek tha... Now the situation is not in our hands. So if the producers want to release it abroad, I support them,' he said. Despite his clarification, the controversy shows no signs of settling. The film's producers have now opted to skip an Indian theatrical release, announcing a worldwide release on June 27 instead. Directed by Amarjit Singh Saron, Sardaar Ji 3 continues the popular franchise with Diljit reprising his role as the quirky ghost-hunter. He stars alongside Hania Aamir, Neeru Bajwa, Manav Vij, Gulshan Grover, Jasmin Bajwa, and Sapna Pabbi.
