Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh made his first public appearance on Monday at the Kalina airport, following the controversy surrounding his film Sardaar Ji 3. The Udta Punjab actor was spotted flashing a smile and waving at paparazzi while exiting the airport. As soon as Diljit stepped out of the airport, the paparazzi began calling out, "Paaji!" Though he didn’t stop to pose, he acknowledged them with a warm smile, folded hands, and a friendly wave before getting into his car.

For the airport outing, Diljit Dosanjh kept it casual in a white t-shirt with blue denims. It was the print of the legendary pop icon Michael Jackson on the t-shirt that had everyone's attention. He was also seen wearing a red turban. Notably, this marked his first public appearance since the controversy surrounding Sardaar Ji 3.
Another interesting observation was the return of Diljit's manager Sonali Singh. Earlier, it was reported that the duo had parted ways ending their decade long partnership.

About Sardaar Ji 3 row
The controversy surrounding Sardaar Ji 3 began after the film’s team faced backlash for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir as the female lead. This decision sparked criticism and led the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) to issue a non-cooperation order against lead actor Diljit Dosanjh. Initially, FWICE imposed a ban preventing him from working on any film projects.
However, following an appeal from producer Bhushan Kumar, an exception was made for Border 2, allowing Diljit to continue shooting the film, though with certain restrictions. While he has been permitted to finish work on the war drama, the non-cooperation directive still applies to any new projects, potentially posing challenges for his future film commitments.

The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta and is presented by Gulshan Kumar; T-Series in association with J.P. Dutta’s banner, J.P. Films.
Border 2 is scheduled to release on January 23, 2026.
