Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has once again found herself at the center of a controversy after publicly questioning singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh over his “selective silence” regarding ongoing issues linked to the Punjabi film industry. This time, her comments are in reference to the controversy surrounding the upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3.
Taking to social media, Kangana asked why Diljit Dosanjh always seems to have “his own path” and remains silent when matters of national importance or cultural debate arise. Her remark appeared to imply that Diljit distances himself from controversies to maintain a neutral image, especially when topics involve political or social sensitivity.
The Sardaar Ji 3 controversy reportedly revolves around creative differences, alleged misrepresentation of Sikh identity, and a broader debate within the Punjabi entertainment space over who gets to define cultural narratives. While Diljit, who starred in the previous installments of the Sardaar Ji franchise, has maintained a low profile on the issue, Kangana’s questioning has brought renewed attention to his silence.
This is not the first time the two celebrities have clashed. During the farmers’ protest in 2020–21, Kangana and Diljit had an intense social media spat over their opposing views, which quickly went viral.
Fans of both actors are now reacting strongly online. While some support Kangana’s boldness in calling out what she sees as double standards, others have criticized her for targeting Diljit without understanding the full context. Diljit, known for staying away from media drama, has yet to respond publicly to her latest remarks.
As the Sardaar Ji 3 row continues to build, Kangana’s comments have added fuel to the fire, raising questions about celebrity accountability, freedom of speech, and cultural sensitivity in India’s diverse film industries.
