Diljit Dosanjh is currently facing a wave of criticism for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his upcoming film, Sardaar Ji 3. However, his former manager, Sonali Singh, has publicly stepped forward to defend the Punjabi singer-actor. Taking to her Instagram, Singh shared a detailed statement titled “Always Choosing Love Over Hate,” where she lauded Dosanjh for consistently promoting “love, unity and kindness” and refraining from outrage.
Singh expressed that the backlash Diljit is enduring is “disheartening and unfair,” clarifying that the film was shot well before the recent escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan.
She further emphasized the potential financial repercussions of boycotting a film like this, especially one not backed by a major corporate entity, highlighting that such actions could lead to significant losses.
In a move that Singh highly praised, Diljit has opted not to release Sardaar Ji 3 in India. She stated, “Diljit has chosen to respect the sentiments of the Indian public and authorities. He is not releasing the film in India, standing in alignment with the nation’s current mood, showing once again that he honours the decisions of his own country even at a personal and professional cost.” This decision, according to Singh, further exemplifies Dosanjh’s commitment to his country.
