Anupam Kher Slams Diljit Dosanjh Over National Loyalty

Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher has sparked controversy with a sharp comment aimed at singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh, questioning his patriotism in the context of ongoing India-Punjab-Khalistan-related tensions.

Though he didn’t name Dosanjh directly, the remark was widely interpreted as a dig at the Punjabi star. This comment comes amid a wave of criticism against several artists believed to be soft on separatist sentiments or not vocal enough in their support for the Indian state.

Kher’s statement has stirred a sharp debate online. While some social media users backed him for “calling out hypocrisy,” others argued that artists should not be dragged into political matters unless there’s proof of wrongdoing.

Diljit Dosanjh, known for his massive fan following across India and abroad, has previously faced accusations of being sympathetic toward the Khalistani movement—charges he has firmly denied. In the past, he has maintained that he stands for unity and harmony.

Anupam Kher’s criticism comes at a time when national loyalty and freedom of expression are hot-button topics, especially in entertainment. The veteran actor, known for his outspoken political views, has never shied away from voicing his opinions—even if they cause discomfort.

No official response has yet come from Dosanjh’s team, but fans and industry observers await whether the singer will break his silence.
