over the Sardaar Ji 3 controversy, singer
Mika Singh
has now softened his stance, asking fans to forgive Diljit if he apologises and removes the objectionable content from the film.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Mika wrote, 'Guys, I understand, we all make mistakes in life. But when we do, there's one simple word that holds power: Sorry. If Diljit made a mistake, we're all willing to forgive. But he must apologise and remove all the objectionable scenes from the movie! That's it. No hate. Just respect. Desh pehle!'
Mika earlier took a veiled dig at Diljit Dosanjh
Before this reconciliatory message, Mika had shared a strongly worded post, without naming Diljit directly, that appeared to target him for working with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir during tensions between India and Pakistan.
'Guys, as we all know, the relationship between India and Pakistan isn't going well right now. Yet some people continue to act irresponsibly,' he wrote in a note titled 'Desh Pehle'.
In a sharper line, he added, 'What's more shocking is that a fake singer, after doing 10 shows in India with thousands of fans buying tickets, has now disappeared — leaving fans betrayed and helpless.' The statement was accompanied by an image of both Mika and Diljit, suggesting his criticism was clearly directed at the Born to Shine singer.

DILJIT DOSANJH'S SARDAR JI 3 UNDER FIRE | MAKERS DEFEND HANIA AAMIR'S CASTING AMID BOYCOTT CALLS
FWICE calls for boycott, slams Diljit's 'disrespect'
The Sardaar Ji 3 row erupted after the trailer dropped, triggering backlash from the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) due to the inclusion of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. In a statement, FWICE President BN Tiwari said, 'By working with a Pakistani actor, Diljit has hurt Indian sentiments. He has disrespected the sentiments of the nation and insulted the sacrifice of our brave soldiers.'
He further questioned Diljit's decision to choose a Pakistani talent over Indian artists, calling it a matter of 'loyalty and priorities.'
Diljit responds: 'The film was shot before the tensions escalated'
In an interview with BBC Asian Network, Diljit defended the film, saying it was shot earlier this year when the political situation was still stable. 'Jab yeh film bani thi tab situation sab theek tha... Now the situation is not in our hands,' he said.
He also expressed support for the producers' decision to release the film internationally.
With increasing backlash, the makers of Sardaar Ji 3 have decided to skip an Indian release and are moving forward with a worldwide release on June 27.
Directed by Amarjit Singh Saron, the film stars Diljit Dosanjh alongside Hania Aamir, Neeru Bajwa, Manav Vij, Gulshan Grover, Jasmin Bajwa, and Sapna Pabbi.

Exclusive - Shubhangi Atre to Priyamvada Kant: TV celebs share their thoughts on Friendship's Day
Actors talk about friends they met on their sets and created a lifelong bond. While lights, cameras, and action bring stories to life on screen, it's the off-screen moments that sometimes leave the deepest impact. This Friendship's Day, actors take a heartfelt walk down memory lane, sharing how bonds formed on set blossomed into lifelong friendships. From spiritual connections to unwavering support through personal trials, these stories show that the strongest friendships often grow in the most unexpected places. These include Priyamvada Kant (Latika, Gharwali Pedwali), Sapna Sikarwar (Bimlesh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Shubhangi Atre (Angoori Bhabhi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Priyamvada Kant, aka Latika from Gharwali Pedwali, shares, 'I share a very special bond with Krishna Bhardwaj . We first met eight years ago while working on a show together, and since then, we have remained in constant touch. What makes our friendship unique is the deep spiritual connection we share. Outwardly, we are both hyper and fun-loving, but at heart, we are calm and grounded. That inner stillness is what we truly bond over. Amidst all the chaos and drama on set, we always found comfort in each other's presence. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Are you ready to conquer a planet?

' Sapna Sikarwar, aka Bimlesh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, shares, 'Geetanjali and I connected during a shoot years ago, and our bond slowly grew from scene partners to soul sisters. We are both strong-headed, yet we balance each other perfectly. What I love most about her is her compassion. Even in her busiest moments, she thinks of others. Once, I was facing a deeply personal challenge, and she dropped everything to be by my side. She didn't just comfort me; she lifted me with strength. The best part is now we are working on the same show and playing sisters onscreen in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan. Ours is a friendship where even silence speaks volumes. In a fast-moving world, she's my constant—a reminder that true friendship isn't about frequency, but presence.' Shubhangi Atre, aka Angoori Bhabi from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, 'I met Megha years ago at an industry event, and instantly felt a warm, honest vibe. That spark turned into a deep friendship over time. I'll never forget a moment during my struggling days in Mumbai when I found myself without a place to stay. In panic, I called Megha. Without hesitation, she said, 'Stay right there, I'm coming,' and took me home. That gesture gave me not just shelter but strength. Megha's honesty and support are her most beautiful traits. She tells you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. With her, I didn't just find a friend—I found a sister for life.' Priyamvada Kant Reflects on 15-Year Journey

"Here's to Bhama and Kamatchi, an enduring symbol of love, loyalty, and lifelong friendship," she wrote, adding the hashtag "Friendship Day." This Friendship Day, we celebrate a bond that has stood the test of time not between humans, but between two magnificent elephants. Bhama (age 75) and Kamatchi (age 65), have been inseparable best friends at our Theppakadu Elephant Camp at , Mudumalai, Nilgiris for over 55 years.… — Supriya Sahu IAS (@supriyasahuias) August 3, 2025 The video is now viral online. A user commented, "Happy Friendship Day Ma'am! Great Examples of Friendship Set by These Wonderful Creatures!" Another wrote, "Wow nice." "That's amazing," a comment read. Someone requested a "longer video" of the majestic creatures. "Bless these two gentle Souls. May we learn some life lessons from them," read a comment. Theppakadu Elephant Camp, managed by the Tamil Nadu Forest Department, is one of Asia's oldest such camps and currently home to 30 elephants. Earlier, Ms Sahu showed tribal artisans from Tamil Nadu crafting life-sized elephant replicas from lantana camara, an invasive forest weed. The models, inspired by real elephants from Mudumalai National Park, were installed at Chennai's Edward Elliott's Beach to raise awareness about wildlife conservation. She mentioned that the initiative was guided by an expert group and served a dual purpose, to provide livelihood opportunities to tribal communities and promote ecological restoration by removing harmful plant species.
