This honour came amid Diljit Dosanjh has been receiving backlash for featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3. The horror comedy movie has been directed by Amar Hundal. The film is expected to release on June 27 overseas. Sardaar Ji 3 will not be releasing in theatres in India. FWICE President, BN Tiwari stated that Dosnajh has hurt the Indian sentiment. In a statement to Hindustan Times, Tiwari said, “By working with a Pakistani actor, Diljit has hurt Indian sentiments. He has disrespected the sentiments of the nation and insulted the sacrifice of our brave soldiers. His preference for Pakistani talent over Indian artists raises serious questions about his loyalty and priorities. By collaborating with a Pakistani actor, Diljit has hurt Indian sentiments, disrespected the nation, and insulted the sacrifices of our brave soldiers.”
