B Praak shares cryptic post on artists' Zameer amid Diljit Dosanjh's 'Sardaar Ji 3' controversy

Punjabi singer B Praak takes cryptic dig at Diljit Dosanjh's collaboration with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3 amid India-Pak tensions.

"Many Artists have sold their conscience. Shame on them - B Praak"

Mumbai, June 24

Punjabi singer B Praak took a swipe at artists' choices and sense of responsibility amid the ongoing controversy over singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh's collaboration with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his upcoming film 'Sardaar Ji 3.'

Posting to his Instagram handle, B Praak shared a cryptic message criticising the artists for selling their 'conscience'. Netizens speculate that B Praak's recent comment is allegedly pointed at singer Diljit Dosanjh after he decided to work with the Pakistani actress Hania Aamir for 'Sardaar Ji 3' amid ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan.

However, B Praak did not mention Diljit Dosanjh in his post.

His post read, "Kayin Artist Apna zameer He Bech Chuke Ne Fiteh Mooh Tuhade. (Many Artists have sold their conscience. Shame on them-loosely translated in English).

'Sardaar Ji 3', the third instalment in the popular Sardaar Ji franchise, has drawn criticism for featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir alongside Dosanjh.

Despite the controversy surrounding his professional choices, Diljit continues to promote the film internationally.

"Sardaar Ji 3 Releasing 27th June Overseas Only. FADH LAO BHOOND DIAN LATTAN," Diljit captioned the trailer of the film, which was released on Monday.

The comments section of the actor's social media platform quickly turned into a storm of angry reactions, with Indian netizens expressing their disappointment over his decision to work with a Pakistani artist, amidst tensions between the two countries.

After the trailer's release, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) also condemned Diljit Dosanjh and his team for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in 'Sardaar Ji 3' and demanded action from the Indian government.

Citing Aamir's controversial stance against India and her role in spreading anti-India narratives, FWICE has called for the revocation of the filmmaker's passports and a nationwide ban on the film's release in India.

Artists should be more responsible when it comes to national sentiments. We've seen Pakistani artists badmouth India while enjoying our hospitality. Diljit should've thought twice before this collaboration. 🇮🇳

Why mix art with politics? Diljit is just doing his job as an actor. If we stop all cultural exchanges, how will relations ever improve? Let's not be so quick to judge. 🤷‍♀️

B Praak is right to call this out! After Uri and Pulwama, how can we forget so easily? Pakistani artists have shown their true colors time and again. #BoycottSardaarJi3

This is getting too dramatic. Hania Aamir is just an actress doing her job. We watch Hollywood films with American actors - does that mean we support all US policies? Chill yaar!

FWICE is absolutely correct in demanding action. Our soldiers sacrifice their lives at the border while our celebrities collaborate with those who celebrate their deaths. Shameful!

I love Diljit's work but this decision hurts. There are so many talented Indian actresses who could've played this role. Why go across the border when we have amazing talent here? 😔

The film isn't even releasing in India, so why this outrage? Let NRIs watch what they want. We have bigger issues to focus on than an overseas Punjabi movie.
