Mumbai: Punjabi singer-turned-actor Diljit Dosanjh broke his silence on the controversy surrounding his film ‘Sardaarji 3’ and the India-Pakistan matches being played in Dubai.
Opening up during his recent concert in Kuala Lumpur, Diljit told the audience that while he could have given a befitting reply, he chose to stay silent.
He clarified that his film ‘Sardaarji 3’, featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, was shot before the Pahalgam attack, yet it was not allowed to be released in India.
Addressing the international audience in Punjabi, Diljit clarified, “When my film ‘Sardaar Ji 3′ was shot in February, the matches were being played. After that, the tragic Pahalgam terror attack happened. At that time, and even now, we have always prayed that the terrorists receive the strictest punishment.”
He continued, “I have many answers, but I kept quiet, kept everything inside me. Whoever tells you anything, you shouldn’t take that poison inside you. I’ve learned that from life. There are a lot more things to say, but I don’t want to say them.”
He also spoke about how he was labelled ‘anti-national’ by certain sections of media.
“The national media tried their best to label me anti-national. But Punjabis and the Sikh community can never go against the nation,” he said.

‘Sardaarji 3’ released globally on June 27, except India, due to the tensions between India and Pakistan post the Pahalgam terror attack in April which claimed 26 innocent lives.
