Singer-actor Guru Randhawa has completely gone off social media platform X (formerly Twitter) after he faced intense trolling for taking indirect digs at fellow Punjabi actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh. Guru Randhawa had made his displeasure clear over the recent controversy of Diljit Dosanjh amid the controversy surrounding the Punjabi film Sardaar Ji 3. The international release stars popular Pakistani actress Hania Aamir alongside Diljit Dosanjh. Due to a ban on working with Pakistani artistes after the 2025 Pahalgam Terror Attack and India’s retaliatory Operation Sindoor, the ‘Lover’ hitmaker received backlash for casting Hania Aamir.  ‘God Bless the Fake PR’: Did Guru Randhawa Take a Dig at Diljit Dosanjh and Hania Aamir’s ‘Sardaar Ji 3’?

This country made great artists and we all are proud of it. Pls be proud of where you were born. Just an advice.

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.”

Fans of Diljit Dosanjh Livid at Guru Randhawa

However, fans of Diljit Dosanjh did not receive it well. They slammed Guru Randhawa for his allegations. As per IANS, the fans reacted saying that Guru himself is seeking publicity by commenting on the Diljit matter. “It seems like you are the one who is in desperate need to start a controversy for your PR cuz just few months ago you were promoting your movie shahkot about Pakistan,” wrote a fan. “Grow up guru,” said another.

Fans were of the opinion that Guru Randhawa was jealous of Diljit Dosanjh. “That’s All Straight Jealousy,” said a fan, while another quipped, “First try to sing a song without mentioning Lahore in it.” This was a reference to Guru Randhawa’s hit number Lahore.
