Guru Randhawa deactivates X account hours after his indirect dig at Diljit Dosanjh
Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa deactivated his X account after he received backlash from the fans of singer-turned-actor Diljit Dosanjh. It all started after Randhawa indirectly called out Diljit on the social media platform over his collaboration with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir and the row surrounding the release of his upcoming film 'Sardaar Ji 3'.Soon after Randhawa's tweet went viral, social media users were quick to remind him that even he had sung a song in the past mentioning a Pakistani city - 'Lagdi Lahore'. While Randhawa's post did not explicitly mention Diljit's name, the social media users were quick to connect the dots.

This was not the first time Randhawa took a jibe at the 'Sardaar Ji 3' actor. Earlier on June 25, he wrote on X, "When the PR team is more talented than the talent itself, controversies become part of the daily routine. The day is near when our people will open their eyes and know the truth. LOL. 1st of every month, dropping bombs. God bless the fake PR and the artists."While Randhawa refrained from taking names, several social media users speculated that the post was directed towards the growing popularity of the 'Born To Shine' singer.advertisementIn an interview with BBC Asian Network, Diljit recently spoke about the controversy surrounding the film and stated the film was shot back in February when relations between India and Pakistan were normal."Jab yeh film bani thi tab situation sab theek tha. We shot this in February and then everything was fine. (When the film was made, everything was okay. We shot the film in February and everything was fine back then)," he said.Uske baad, bahut saari badi cheezen humare haath mein nahi hai. Toh producers ne decide kiya ki film obviously ab India toh nahi lagegi, toh overseas release karte hain. Toh producers ka bahut paisa laga hua hai aur jab yeh film bann rahi thi tab aisa kuch tha nahi. (After that a lot of things happened which are beyond our control. The producer decided that the film will not be released in India, so they could release it overseas. They have invested a lot of money, and when the film was being made, nothing like this was happening)," he added.'Sardaar Ji 3' was released overseas today.- EndsMust Watch
