Popular Indian singer Mika Singh has stirred controversy by publicly criticizing fellow Punjabi artist Diljit Dosanjh for collaborating with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. The project in question is Sardaar Ji 3, a Punjabi film featuring the two stars. Mika Singh did not hold back his disapproval, labeling Diljit a “fake singer” and accusing him of exploiting Indian audiences by performing concerts, accepting payments, and then vanishing without real engagement.
The singer’s sharp remarks come in the wake of growing tensions between India and Pakistan, especially after the recent Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 civilian lives. Mika pointed out that collaborations with Pakistani actors at such a sensitive time were inappropriate and hurtful to national sentiments. He stated, “Our nation’s dignity is involved,” suggesting that artists must be more responsible in choosing whom they work with, especially during periods of diplomatic strain.
Mika’s comments have triggered a mixed reaction from the public and the entertainment industry. While some support his call for patriotic accountability, others see it as an unnecessary attack on artistic freedom. Diljit Dosanjh, known for his global fan base and diverse collaborations, has not yet responded to Mika’s allegations. The incident has reignited the ongoing debate over whether cross-border artistic ventures should be permissible when political relations are tense.
As the backlash unfolds, it remains to be seen how this rift between two of Punjabi music’s most well-known figures will affect their standing in the industry—and whether audiences will view Diljit’s collaboration with Hania Aamir as a breach of trust or a bold creative choice.
