Kumar Vishwas reacts to Diljit Dosanjh’s ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ row: ‘Uski mazaak banane waali ladki ke saath aap film bana lunga?’

Renowned Hindi poet and former politician Kumar Vishwas recently addressed the rising criticism surrounding Diljit Dosanjh-starrer ‘Sardaar Ji 3’. The film has drawn flak for featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, particularly in the aftermath of the India-Pak tensions since April 2025.Kumar Vishwas on Diljit Dosanjh‘s ‘Sardaar Ji 3′ controversyDuring an interview with NDTV, Kumar Vishwas addressed the ongoing boycott call for the movie from social media users. Many found the collaboration insensitive, and Vishwas slammed the double standards artists display in such a crucial situation.

He further criticised Diljit’s decision to collaborate with a Pakistani actress who once mocked India’s strategy and stood against the country in times of crisis. “Aur yeh jo ahankar ho gaya hai na stars ko, ki mera kya hai? Main toh gaa dunga. Yeh bohot galat baat hai. Meri responsibility yeh jo log ticket deke Kumar Vishwas ko dekhne aaye hain, unke prati hai. Inke gharon mein toh gola aake padh raha hai, inka sipahi toh tirange mein lapet ke aa raha hai. Aur uski mazaak banane waali ladki ke saath aap bol rahe hain mein uske saath film bana lunga, gaana bana lunga?” (This arrogance that the stars have now, thinking, ‘What’s it to me? I will just sing.’ This is very wrong. Who made you? My responsibility is towards those people who bought tickets to come and see Kumar Vishwas. In their homes, shells are falling; their soldiers are returning wrapped in the tricolour. And you talk about making a film, making songs with the girl who mocks them?)About the boycott call for Diljit Dosanjh’s Sardaar Ji 3The backlash against Diljit Dosanjh intensified after the trailer of Sardaar Ji 3 was released.
