Vaani Kapoor Supports Diljit Dosanjh and Hania Aamir Amid Film Controversy

Indian actress Vaani Kapoor, who has worked with Fawad Khan in the past, has spoken out in support of Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh and Pakistani star Hania Aamir. The controversy began after the announcement of their film Sardaar Ji 3, which features Hania Aamir in a lead role alongside Diljit.

Following recent political tensions between India and Pakistan, the film’s release in India was banned. Diljit faced heavy criticism on social media, with hashtags calling for a boycott of his work. The backlash accused him of collaborating with a Pakistani artist during a sensitive time.

‘Sardar Ji 3’ Breaks Records for Popularity in Pakistan but Faces Resistance in India

However, Vaani Kapoor came forward to defend Diljit. In an interview with NDTV, she stated that Diljit had broken no laws. She explained that the movie was likely completed before the recent events, and more than 100 technical crew members were also involved in the project.

Vaani further highlighted that Diljit has always respected his country and had no intention of causing harm. As an internationally acclaimed artist, he has invested time, money, and effort into the film. She added that the ban would also cause financial losses for him and many others connected to the project.

The ban on Sardaar Ji 3 in India reportedly followed the Pahalgam incident and the failed military action known as “Operation Sandur.” These events led to stricter policies against cultural exchange between India and Pakistan.

While many Indian actors criticized Diljit, some prominent names supported him. Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah also urged both sides to resolve the matter with understanding rather than hostility.

Vaani Kapoor’s statement reflects a growing voice in the entertainment industry that art should not be held hostage to political conflicts. Fans of Fawad Khan, Hania Aamir, and Diljit Dosanjh hope the film will eventually reach audiences on both sides of the border.
