Punjabi pop star Guru Randhawa just dropped a cryptic post online—one that fans believe was a direct hit at fellow singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh. The drama exploded after Pakistani actress Hania Aamir was cast in Sardaar Ji 3, Diljit’s upcoming Punjabi film. That casting choice hasn’t gone down well with many.
On June 26, Guru Randhawa posted a message on X that had no names, but plenty of pointed words.
“Even if now your citizenship is not Indian… pls remember this country made great artists… PR bigger than artist.”
This statement had social media buzzing. Many believed it was aimed at Diljit, who has been accused (unofficially) of giving up his Indian citizenship. The wording—“remember where you were born”—struck a nationalistic chord, and some praised Guru for “speaking up.”
Lakh pardesi hoyieee
Apna desh nhi bhandi daaJehre mulk da khayie
us da bura nhi mangi daEven if now your citizenship is not indian but you were born here pls remember this.
This country made great artists and we all are proud of it.
Pls be proud of where you were born.…— Guru Randhawa (@GuruOfficial) June 26, 2025
Fans React: “Diljit Fake Indian”
Within minutes, the post went viral. Some fans supported Guru Randhawa for calling things out, with one saying, “Time to shut the diplomacy.” Another tagged Diljit directly: “Sun le (listen to this).”
But not everyone was cheering.

Hypocrisy? Critics Bring Up ‘Lahore’
Many were quick to call Guru Randhawa out for his own hit song Lagdi Lahore Di. A fan replied:
“What about ‘Lahore’? Why not Ayodhya or Nagpur instead?”
Another added, “Says the one who made ‘Lahore’ his biggest hit.”
Their Past Collab Adds Spice
This isn’t just any random online spat. Guru and Diljit have worked together in the past. In the 2019 film Arjun Patiala, they teamed up for the emotional track Dil Todeya, with Guru writing and composing the song. That history makes Guru’s latest comment feel even more personal.
Sardaar Ji 3: The Firestarter
The entire controversy kicked off when it was revealed that Sardaar Ji 3 would feature Pakistani star Hania Aamir. The casting triggered a backlash from some industry insiders and political groups. Singer Mika Singh slammed Diljit, while Jasbir Jassi defended him, pointing out the double standards in the industry.
Film bodies have even called for a ban on the film and its makers. And now, with Guru Randhawa weighing in, the storm just got stronger.
Whether you see it as patriotism or PR, Guru Randhawa’s post has reopened the debate about art, nationalism, and celebrity responsibility. And in true showbiz style, he didn’t need to drop a name—just a well-timed punchline.
