With the remastering of *Umrao Jaan*, Bollywoodโs golden era is getting a new audienceโ and Rekhaโs presence ensured itโll leave a lasting impact. This re-release isn’t just nostalgia; itโs a reaffirmation of evergreen storytelling and feminine strength.
๐งโโ๏ธ Guru Randhawa Deactivates X After Dropping Patriotic Hint at Diljit Dosanjh
Punjabi sensation **Guru Randhawa** shocked fans by deleting his X (formerly Twitter) account after posting a cryptic nationalist message many saw as a veiled criticism of **Diljit Dosanjh** amid the *Sardaar Ji 3* controversy ๎จ1๎จ. His brief noteโโEven if your citizenship isnโt Indian, remember you were born hereโโblasted online, prompting swift backlash.
Commentators pointed out a glaring ironyโRandhawa himself sang about โLahoreโ in his chartbuster, yet now heโs preaching national loyalty. Critics accused him of hypocrisy, while fans debated the ethics of public calls for patriotism without context. Others believe it was timed to fan the flames in Bollywoodโs biggest cross-border storm.
Deleting his account mid-row only added fuel: was it a PR stunt gone wrong, or a retreat under pressure? One thingโs clear: in todayโs charged atmosphere, even oblique celebrity comments can cause major ripples.
๐ซ Neeru Bajwa Unfollows & Removes *Sardaar Ji 3* Content
In a dramatic move, Punjabi actress **Neeru Bajwa** quietly unfollowed both **Diljit Dosanjh** and **Hania Aamir** on Instagramโand even deleted *Sardaar Ji 3* trailers from her feed ๎จ2๎จ. Her silence speaks volumes.
This isnโt a PR flourishโitโs a clear signal amid escalating outrage. The film has reportedly lost 40% in pre-sales overseas following the casting backlash. Bajwaโs subtle distancing may be damage control or a silent protest to reclaim her personal brand in a divisive climate.
The stakes keep rising: with stars quietly stepping back, how many will risk big numbersโor backlashโfor what they believe? Neeruโs move may mark a turning point in how regional stars respond to political tension.
โ๏ธ Puneet Issar Escalates *Sardaar Ji 3* War, Questions Diljitโs Patriotism
Veteran actor **Puneet Issar** fiercely jumped into the ongoing *Sardaar Ji 3* saga, accusing **Diljit Dosanjh** of โdisrespecting Punjabi heritageโ by casting **Hania Aamir**. He invoked strong religious symbolismโciting the martyrdom of Guru Gobind Singhโs sonsโand demanded Diljit reconsider ๎จ3๎จ.
The timing couldnโt be more explosive: with the filmโs Indian release canceled, Issarโs sharp words have fanned the flames of nationalist fervor. His arguments appeal to tradition, identity, and collective pride, and have prompted intense debate in Punjabi circles.
As regional cinema grapples with international casting, Issarโs attack may reshape how stars weigh creative freedom against community ties. Will Diljit recast his roleโor will the cultural confrontation redefine the film’s legacy?
๐ฃ๏ธ Mika Singh Slams Diljit as ‘Fake Singer’, Demands Apology
From harsh to conciliatory, singer **Mika Singh** publicly labelled **Diljit Dosanjh** a โfake singerโ over his Pakistan collaboration, demanding an apology and removal of objectionable scenes from *Sardaar Ji 3* ๎จ4๎จ. His direct toneโโDesh pehleโ (โCountry firstโ)โechoed patriotic criticism across the industry.
He referenced the earlier Fawad Khan-Vaani Kapoor controversy and questioned why Diljit would feature a Pakistani actor in current times. With Diljitโs overseas-only release, Mikaโs words carry weightโand may reflect broader Bollywood unease with cross-border art.
This dramatic shift marks a turning point. Will Diljit tone down the film or stand firm? Mikaโs demand signals a high-stakes clash: patriotism vs creative expressionโthe verdict may change how Bollywood handles cross-border casting forever.
