Diljit Dosanjh faces massive backlash; FWICE and others call for his removal
Diljit Dosanjh has been facing numerous allegations and has received a lot of backlash amidst his recent controversy. As tensions between India and Pakistan continue, the singer's decision to work with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir for 'Sardaar Ji 3' has faced a lot of criticism from the public.
The organization, as per reports from ANI, sent a formal letter to the ministers on June 25, requesting that they withdraw and remove any permission that has been given to the creators of 'Border 2' to shoot the film at the NDA grounds in Pune.
The letter shared with the home ministers read, "We write to you with deep concern regarding the shooting permission reportedly granted to the production team of the film 'Border 2' at the National Defence Academy (NDA) premises in Pune."
"It is important to bring to your notice that the said film (Border 2) features actor Diljit Dosanjh, who has been officially boycotted by FWICE owing to his involvement with individuals and content that have deeply disrespected Indian sentiments, especially by associating with Pakistani artists known for their anti-India views and participating in projects filmed in sensitive border locations like Pahalgam immediately following terror incidents targeting our armed forces," they continued in the letter.
More about the controversy
'Border 2' features Diljit Dosanjh, alongside actors like
Sunny Deol
and
Varun Dhawan
as well. Another letter was sent to T-Series Chairman Bhushan Kumar, director Imtiaz Ali, and actor-producer Sunny Deol on June 24 and 25 as well, citing that Dosanjh's casting should be 'thought over and reconsidered.'
Amid the 'Sardar Ji 3' row, FWICE has officially boycotted the Punjabi singer and actor. In their reasoning, the organization has claimed that associating with a Pakistani actress has been disrespectful to 'Indian sentiments,' following the April 22 Pahalgam attack.

Do Aditya Roy Kapur and Sara Ali Khan have a marriage spell on their co-stars? Check out the 'Life - Altaring' pattern
Imagine if the 2007 hit 'Good Luck Chuck' was real, with the classic Indian twist and a dash of Bollywood drama. Well, that's what has been happening with the upcoming on-screen couple: Aditya Roy Kapur and Sara Ali Khan . Aditya Roy Kapur's co-stars tend to get married after working with him, and Khan's filmography indicates the exact cinematic 'marriage spell' as well! Aditya Roy Kapur's co-stars get married... During a segment of 'The Great Indian Kapil Show,' Kapil Sharma called out the mind-blowing pattern of Aditya Roy Kapur, suggesting the same fate (with the raised eyebrows) for Sara Ali Khan. In a teaser video of the upcoming episode, the 44-year-old comedian said, 'Toh doston aapko mazedaar cheez batata hoon, aap sabne notice toh kiya hoga, Fitoor mein Aditya ne Katrina ke saath kaam kiya, unki shaadi ho gayi( So friends, let me tell you a fun fact; y'all must have noticed it. In 'Fitoor,' Aditya worked with Katrina Kaif , who got married).' He further continued, 'Sadak 2 mein inhone Alia ke saath kaam kiya, Alia ki shaadi ho gayi, Night Manager mein inhone Sobhita ke saath kaam kiya, uski shaadi ho gayi, toh Sara….iske baad? (In 'Sadak 2,' he worked with Alia Bhatt , who got married. In 'Night Manager,' he worked with Sobhita Dhulipala, who got married. So Sara….after this?)' Sara Ali Khan's co-stars are walking down the aisle as well.... Presenting the statistics, Sara Ali Khan has also worked with the stars who got married to their partners during the shoot, or immediately after they shot their film. At the trailer launch of 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke' with Vicky Kaushal, the 29-year-old pointed out that he is now on the list of actors who have been coupled after working with her. She further humourously commented that if anyone is interested in marriage, or any woman is interested in getting their partners to marry them, they should sign a film with her, adding that there is something about her energy that makes people run and marry. Sara Ali Khan worked with Ranveer Singh in the 2018 hit 'Simmba,' who got married to Deepika Padukone in 2018. She collaborated with Varun Dhawan in the 2020's 'Coolie No. 1,' who shared vows with Natasha Dalal in 2021. Adding to the list, she co-starred with Vikrant Massey in the 2023's 'Gaslight,' which went on the floors in 2022, the same year he got hitched to Sheetal Thakur.
