Sardaar Ji 3 controversy: Neeru Bajwa deletes…, unfollows Hania Aamir; Diljit Dosanjh says…

Sardaar Ji 3 controversy: The much-awaited Punjabi horror-comedy Sardaar Ji 3, starring Diljit Dosanjh, Neeru Bajwa, and Hania Aamir, finds itself in the middle of a heated controversy just a day ahead of its overseas release on June 27. The film, already facing strong backlash for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir amid ongoing India-Pakistan tensions, has now sparked fresh headlines after co-star Neeru Bajwa seemingly distanced herself from the project.

Neeru Bajwa has removed all promotional content of Sardaar Ji 3

According to a viral Reddit post shared by the Instagram handle, Bajwa has removed all promotional content related to Sardaar Ji 3 from her Instagram. She also reportedly unfollowed Hania Aamir, although this claim remains unverified. Fans were quick to point out the missing posts, which once included trailers and behind-the-scenes footage. Now, her profile features only updates about her upcoming film Son Of Sardaar 2.

Here’s how users reacted:

The move triggered reactions across social media. One user noted, “I remember Neeru Bajwa being one of the few Punjabi actors who applauded Operation Sindoor and Sofiya Qureshi,” while another added, “This is brave on Neeru’s part! Respect to her!” Some users also mentioned that Bajwa has been receiving hate comments from both Diljit fans and some Pakistani accounts.

Here’s what Diljit Dosanjh said:

While Bajwa remains silent on the issue, Diljit Dosanjh broke his silence in a BBC Asian Network interview. Defending the decision to proceed with the overseas release, he said, “Jab yeh film bani thi, tab sab theek tha… Producers ka paisa laga hua hai… Film bann chuki thi before tensions started.” He added that it was the producers’ call, and financial investments were already locked in.

About Sardaar Ji 3

Directed by Amar Hundal, Sardaar Ji 3 is a horror-comedy set in the UK, where ghost hunters, played by Diljit and Hania, investigate a haunted mansion. Despite its star-studded cast and unique genre blend, the film has been pulled from Indian screens due to the rising sentiment post the Pahalgam terror attack.

Now restricted to international cinemas, the film’s fate—and its cast’s reputations—remain under scrutiny as audiences react.
