Punjabi music sensation Guru Randhawa has stirred headlines after he deactivated his X (formerly Twitter) account following a cryptic post that appeared to criticize fellow artist Diljit Dosanjh. The controversy revolves around Diljit’s upcoming film Sardar Ji 3, which features Pakistani actress Hania Aamir.
Guru Randhawa Deactivates X Handle
🔥 What Did Guru Randhawa Say?
Before deactivating his account, Guru Randhawa posted a veiled message that many fans interpreted as a direct jab at Diljit. In his post, Guru wrote:
“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. Now don’t start controversy again and manipulate Indians LOL. PR bigger thn artist.”
His words triggered an online buzz, with many speculating that the post was a response to Diljit’s decision to feature a Pakistani actress in Sardar Ji 3—a move that has already sparked widespread controversy across India.
🎥 Why Is Diljit Dosanjh in the Middle of a Storm?
The controversy began when the trailer of Sardar Ji 3, a horror-comedy set to release on June 27, revealed Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in a key role. Since then:
- The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has strongly opposed the casting.
- FWICE has even written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding strict action, including the cancellation of Diljit Dosanjh’s passport.
- FWICE claims that the inclusion of a Pakistani actor is a “willful affront to India’s dignity and security” amid ongoing Indo-Pak tensions.
🛑 Why This Became a National Issue
The outrage stems from the April 22, 2025 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, where 26 Indian tourists lost their lives. Since the attack, collaborations with Pakistani actors and technicians have been unofficially banned across Indian entertainment platforms.
In response, Diljit announced that Sardar Ji 3 will only release overseas, not in India, further intensifying the backlash.
🗣 Public and Industry Reactions
- Some fans supported Diljit for maintaining artistic freedom and honoring pre-shot commitments.
- Others criticized him for being “unpatriotic” during sensitive times.
- Guru Randhawa’s post appears to reflect the sentiment of a portion of the industry that believes national interest should come before international collaborations.
