Indian singer B Praak, known for his nationalistic sentiments and outspoken views, posted a striking Instagram story without naming anyone directly. However, fans quickly linked his remarks to Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh, who is facing backlash for working with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3.
The Instagram Story That Raised Eyebrows
Without taking names, B Praak wrote on his Instagram story:
“Some artists have sold their conscience. Shame on you!”
The timing of this post — just after the trailer release of Sardaar Ji 3, which stars Pakistani actress Hania Aamir — has led social media users to assume it’s a jab at Diljit Dosanjh.
Social Media Reacts: “Finally, Someone Spoke Up”
Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) saw an outpouring of support for B Praak. One user commented:
“Finally, someone had the guts to call out celebrities who care more about their Pakistani fanbase than their own nation.”
Another added, “He said what many of us have been feeling.”
Why the Controversy Began
Sardaar Ji 3 is a Punjabi-language film that features Hania Aamir, a Pakistani actress, as one of the female leads. Although the film will not be released in India due to the ban on Pakistani artists after recent terror incidents, the casting choice has ignited a storm of criticism against Diljit Dosanjh.
Several online users have demanded a boycott of the film, questioning the actor’s patriotism.
Diljit Dosanjh Breaks Silence
Amid the ongoing backlash, Diljit Dosanjh addressed the controversy in an interview:
“We can’t control wars between nations. But I believe music unites people. We should focus on Mother Earth and humanity.”
Conclusion
The debate over whether artists should work across politically sensitive borders continues to divide opinion in India. While some applaud B Praak for his vocal stance, others support Diljit Dosanjh’s message of unity through music.
