🚨 “You Can’t Sing for India, Then Dance with Its Enemies!”
The Emotional Storm Around Diljit Dosanjh’s Border 2 Role
A storm has erupted in the Indian film industry—and this time, it’s not over a movie scene but over a matter of national pride and patriotism.
Superstar Diljit Dosanjh, who has long been seen as a symbol of Punjabi pride and Indian nationalism, now finds himself at the center of a major controversy. Reports suggest he may be dropped from the upcoming patriotic film “Border 2” after working with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, who is widely known for her anti-India remarks.
Diljit Dosanjh is justifying his decision to work with Pakistani actor Hania Amir in an interview with with a Karachi-born British-Pakistani journalist Haroon Rashid [who had called 26/11 a political event].

🧨 1. Why the Nation is Angry
The Federation of Western Indian Cine Employees (FWICE), one of the most powerful bodies in the industry, has urged the makers of Border 2 to drop Diljit immediately. They have also called upon the Censor Board to withhold certification of Diljit’s upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3.
Why?
Because Diljit recently collaborated with Hania Aamir — an actress who has openly mocked India and supported narratives against the country. How can the same Diljit, who sings songs about patriotism and stars in films honoring Indian soldiers, justify working with someone who disrespects those very values?
⚠️ 2. Silence Speaks Volumes
What makes things worse is Diljit’s silence. Not once has he condemned Hania Aamir’s anti-India comments. Not once has he stood up for the very nation he claims to represent through his roles and songs.
This is not neutrality — this is selective silence for the sake of fame and financial gain. And for many Indians, it feels like betrayal.
Meanwhile, Hania Aamir continues to enjoy the spotlight in Indian collaborations while insulting the country across the border. She wants the fame, but not the responsibility. The recognition, but not the respect.
🚨 Bollywood associations have threatened to ban Diljit Dosanjh over Hania Amir controversy.

In response, Diljit said he “doesn’t care about Bollywood” and has no interest in working in the industry.pic.twitter.com/5pCzDGJWYS
🎭 3. Patriotism Can’t Be Performed
You can’t act like a martyr on-screen while disrespecting soldiers off-screen.
You can’t wave the Indian flag in your movies, and then work with someone who spits on it.
This controversy is not just about a film role — it’s about character.
As netizens rightly pointed out:
“This is not art crossing borders.
This is integrity being sold off, one frame at a time.”
📣 4. Bollywood Must Draw the Line
Fans and citizens alike are demanding action. From hashtags calling for Diljit’s boycott to influencers demanding his permanent removal from patriotic projects, one message is clear:
Bollywood isn’t above Bharat.
You can’t make money from Indian audiences and then support individuals who insult the same nation.
If actors like Diljit want to work with Pakistani talent, that’s their choice. But they shouldn’t expect to be cast in films that honor Indian soldiers or speak about national sacrifice.
💔 5. Beyond Cinema: A Question of Loyalty
This controversy goes beyond screen loyalty — it’s about national loyalty.
If Hania Aamir cannot respect India, she has no place in Indian projects.
And if Diljit Dosanjh can’t speak against those who insult India, then he must also accept the consequences — be it removal from Border 2, or public backlash.
