Kangana Ranaut questioned Diljit Dosanjh's decision to work with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3, urging public figures to align with national sentiment in times of political tension.
Kangana Ranaut and Diljit Dosanjh
Diljit Dosanjh was recently caught in a controversy during the release of his film Sardaar Ji 3. The film's Indian release was deferred due to the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. After the Pahalgam terror attack, film bodies had called for a complete ban on Pakistani artists working in India or on the release of any projects featuring them. Since Sardaar Ji 3 had already been completed by then, the filmmakers decided to release it overseas. Now, actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has shared her views on the matter.
Kangana Ranaut reacts to Diljit controversy
In an interview with Times Now, Kangana was asked about the controversy. Reacting to it, she said there is a lack of unified national sentiment among public figures.
“I’ve said enough about these people. At the beginning of our conversation, I pointed out that we need to have a sentiment of nation-building — everybody is a stakeholder," Kangana said.
She also questioned why public figures like artists do not share the same national sentiments as soldiers and politicians. “Why don’t we have that sentiment? Why is Diljit having his own path? Why should cricketers or other celebrities have their own path? Even a soldier has his own path of nationalism. The poor soldier and the poor politician follow it sincerely, while some others have their own agenda,” she remarked.
The parliamentarian added, “I’m not saying it is unnatural, but we must try to align everybody. That will only happen when we bring this idea to politicians—it is your responsibility.”
Kangana Ranaut says she is not enjoying politics
Actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, now a Member of Parliament from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi constituency, has admitted she is not fully enjoying her political journey.
In a recent podcast appearance on Atman in Ravi (AIR), Kangana confessed, “I’m getting a hang of it. I wouldn’t say that I am enjoying it (politics). It’s a very different kind of work—more like social service. This hasn’t been my background. I’ve never thought of serving people.”
She added, “I’ve fought for women’s rights, but that’s different… Someone complains about a broken drain and I’m like, ‘But I’m an MP!’ These people come to me with panchayat-level problems. They don’t care. They just want solutions, even if it’s not in my direct power. Sometimes they even tell me to use my own money to fix it.”
