Diljit Dosanjh and the entire team of his upcoming film, Sardaar Ji 3, have found themselves in hot water after the film’s trailer was launched. From the trailer, people got to know that Pakistani actress, Hania Aamir, has been retained in the film despite the India-Pak tensions due to the attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 civilians. With this controversy, the film’s entire team has been facing backlash. However, most of this anger is especially directed towards Diljit Dosanjh. Amidst this controversy, let’s revisit the time when the singer stated that India was the best country and how netizens reacted to it.
Diljit Dosanjh had praised India in many aspects
Diljit Dosanjh, in an older podcast with Raj Shamani, discussed India. The actor-singer had stated that he had been to most of the countries around the world barring few. However, there was no country like India anywhere else. Diljit said that from the environment to food, different places, and even weather, everything about India is the best. The Phillauri actor stated that many people might say that he was saying so because of the cameras. However, Diljit clarified that he has earnestly stated his fondness for the country in front of his staff before as well. He said in the interview:
“Mai poori duniya ghuma hu. Kuch ek-do jagah hi reh gayi hongi. Kahi shows kiye, kahi personal ghumne gaya hu. India the best hai. Mai bolne k liye nahi bol raha hu camera k saamne bas. Aap mere staff see puch sakte hai…India jesi jagah nahi hai duniya mai.”
