Did Diljit Dosanjh say anything?
Dosanjh saluting the Indian flag is featured in a lot of social media videos. “That is the flag of my country,” the actor subsequently states. Never disregard it. He said in Punjabi, asking the crowd for permission to continue, “Cricket matches were being played in February while we were filming Sardaar Ji 3.” Later, there was an attack on Pahalgam.
While matches are still being played, my film has not yet been released in India. Even now, I continue to pray for the lives lost in the Pahalgam incident. The singer went on to say that anyone responsible should face severe penalties.
Diljit made the decision to keep quiet.
While stating that “Punjabis and Sikhs can never go against the nation,” the musician also claimed that some segments of the national media tried to paint him as “anti-national.” Even though I had a lot to say, I kept quiet and kept everything to myself. Regardless of what is said, I’ve learned from life to avoid taking that poison inside. During the concert, Diljit stated, “We only pray that terrorists are severely punished, even now and even back then.
India banned Sardaar Ji 3.
In April, there were about 26 Indian tourists killed and numerous others injured in the Pahalgam terror incident. After the tragedy, Dosanjh faced harsh criticism over Sardaar Ji 3’s hiring of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. Due to the issue, the movie was not given Indian release clearance. It became a blockbuster when it was finally released abroad on June 27.
