Ajay Devgn speaks up on fellow Punjabi artist Diljit Dosanjh's trolling, backlash

Ajay Devgn weighs in on Diljit Dosanjh's trolling for casting Hania Aamir, urging dialogue over criticism.

"Two clashing perspectives can only be sorted out with a conversation. – Ajay Devgn"

Mumbai, July 11

Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn, who launched the trailer of his upcoming film 'Son of Sardaar 2' in Mumbai, spoke about the controversy surrounding fellow Punjabi artiste Diljit Dosanjh.

Ajay attended the trailer launch of the film in the Andheri area of Mumbai on Friday, spoke with the media, and shared his opinion on the trolling that Diljit has been facing for the overseas release of his film featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir.

Ajay told the media present at the venue, “Dekhiye, I don't know where the trolling comes from. Kya sahi hai, kya galat hai (I can't decide what is right and wrong), I am not in his shoes to comment on that”.

He further mentioned, "Uski apni problems hogi. Baaki jo log keh rahe hain vo apne point of view se soch rahe hain. Toh jab do alag point of views hote hain, toh vo baith ke solve kiya ja sakte hain. Vo apne hisaab se soch rahe hain, aap apne hisaab se soch rahe hain. Aisa nahi hota hai (He must be dealing with his own problems. Those who are criticising him are thinking from their perspective. Two clashing perspectives can only be sorted out with a conversation. Both parties are applying their own logic. This is not how things are done)”.

Diljit has been facing a lot of backlash over the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in ‘Sardar Ji 3’. The Pakistani actress had criticised Operation Sindoor, India’s counter-terror strike, which followed the dastardly terrorist attack in Pahalgam in April this year.

The attack in Pahalgam had claimed the lives of 26 tourists including a Nepali national. The Resistance Front (TRF), an off-shoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based UN-designated terrorist group.

India had destroyed 9 terror camps deep in the territory of Pakistan, which briefly led to the military stand-off between the nuclear armed nations.

As a Punjabi myself, I'm torn between supporting our artists and national security concerns. Diljit is talented but working with Pakistani artists after their comments on our military operations? Not cool yaar 😕

Why are we mixing art with politics? Diljit is an entertainer, not a diplomat. Let's judge the movie on its merit rather than who's acting in it. #ArtHasNoBorders

Respect to Ajay for handling this diplomatically. But honestly, our soldiers deserve more respect than any film collaboration. 26 innocent lives were lost - that's not something we should forget so easily.

Bollywood needs to stop this hypocrisy. When it's convenient they say "art has no boundaries" but when Pakistani artists are banned in India, they stay silent. At least Ajay is being balanced here.

Diljit is one of the most genuine artists we have. The trolling is unfair - he's not responsible for what Hania Aamir said. Let's not punish him for someone else's views. ❤️

The real issue is why are we still giving Pakistani artists work when their country sponsors terrorism against us? Diljit should have shown more
