Phillauri actor Diljit Dosanjh who slammed Kangana Ranaut for misidentifying an elderly Sikh woman during the farmers’ protest as Bilkis Bano of Shaheen Bagh has now found himself on the receiving end of the Queen star's wrath. Kangana referred to Diljit as Karan Johar’s pet, since the actor had featured in KJo’s production venture ‘Good Newwz’. “The old lady who was seen protesting for her citizenship in Shaheen Bagh was Bilkis Bano. She was also seen protesting for farmers' MSP. I don't even know who Mahinder Kaur is. What iss this drama going on? Stop this right now,” Kangana had posted.Diljit gave a hard-hitting reply to Kangana and questioned her, “Are you a pet of all those people with whom you have worked in a film? Then the list will be long?” He had also slammed her stating that they were not Bollywood people but from Punjab and that the amount of drama she has created, ‘Punjab wale’ would do it right and that no one else can handle it.
Diljit also responded to a troll who asked him not to criticise Kangana just because he is a popular artiste. "Veere tere punjabi gaane chalde aa eda matlab aa nai k tu kujj vi ava tava boli jaae. Bolan toh pailaan maadi jai tameez sikh le vadiya rauga. Kangana nu gaalan kaddan naal tenu vaadu Bollywood diyan filman nai milan laggiyan. Jenna tu aa onna hi reh. (Brother your Punjabi songs are popular that doesn't mean you can say anything. Please learn some manners before you speak. Criticising Kangana won't get you more films in Bollywood)." Responding to the tweet, Diljit said, "Filma Asi Aap Produce Kar lene an Madam .. Kisey ton Leyn di Lodd Ni.. Apni madam Nu Samjha Tameez Naal Bole Sadian Maavan Nu (We can produce our own films, we don't need anyone. Please ask your madam to speak to our mothers with respect)." Other Punjabi stars including Himanshi Khurana, Sargun Mehta, Ammy Virk and Sukhe have also called Kangana out for her comments on the ongoing farmers' protests against new farm bills.
