Diljit Dosanjh’s manager DEFENDS actor-singer amid Sardaar Ji 3 row: “Despite giving everything to his country, he is still seen as ‘the other’”

Amid the growing backlash over the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3, Diljit Dosanjh’s manager and CEO of Ripple Effect, Sonali Singh, has issued a strong statement in the singer-actor’s defense. Taking to social media, Singh addressed the ongoing criticism, calling it a “manufactured storm” against an artist who has consistently chosen love and unity over hate and division. “Diljit Dosanjh Simply Carries on Choosing Love” The note opens with a pointed observation: “Despite giving everything to his country — his art, pride, voice, and platform — Diljit is still seen as 'the other' when it matters most.” Yet, the statement notes, he doesn’t retaliate. “He simply carries on choosing love.” Sonali then highlights Diljit’s past efforts and sacrifices: He cancelled a major U.S. concert when the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) raised concerns, absorbing the financial loss and fighting a two-year legal battle abroad — quietly and respectful...

Actress Esha Gupta, who has been away from the big screen for a while, continues to stay in the limelight through her candid interviews and social media presence. In a recent conversation with Siddharth Kannan, the Humshakals actress offered a rare insight into her professional fallout with filmmaker Sajid Khan, with whom she worked on the 2014 comedy. Recalling the tense incident, Esha said, “I had a fight. Sajid Khan and I were not at all on the same page, and we ended up having a proper fight. It happened once, and after that, things were never the same. See, I don’t like people abusing me. You should always treat people the way you want them to treat you. It’s that simple. Unhone mujhe gaali di… phir maine bhi di (He abused me, so I abused him back).” The disagreement, according to Esha, was so serious that she walked off the set. “I went home. I didn’t stay. I had also made up my mind to exit the film. But it was the producer who apologised first, even before Sajid did,” she add...

Vedang Raina on bagging Imtiaz Ali’s next and sharing screen space with Naseeruddin Shah; “It’s a dream come true”

Finally, you’re moving ahead after Karan Johar’s Jigra? Yes, finally! It’s been a long wait, but it’s all been worth it. It’s a dream to be working with Imtiaz sir. How did Imtiaz Ali come into the picture? I had a meeting with him a long time ago, after my debut series The Archies released. It was just a casual, friendly conversation. Then, almost a year or year-and-a-half later, we met again, and he discussed the idea for this story. I was very excited. Have you seen Imtiaz Ali’s films? I’ve seen all of them, except his first — Socha Na Tha. Rockstar and Chamkila are probably my favourites. But Jab We Met, Tamasha — they’re all classics. He understands human emotions and dilemmas like no one else, and he presents them so poetically on screen. Your debut was directed by Zoya Akhtar, your second is a Karan Johar production, and now Imtiaz Ali... Are you pleased with your progress so far? Yes. I’m keeping my head down and working hard. I understand the responsibility that comes with ...
