Adnan Sami Reacts to Diljit Dosanjh’s Sardar Ji 3 Controversy: “An Artist Always Belongs to His Country”

Adnan Sami and Daljit Dosanjh

Singer Adnan Sami, who became an Indian citizen in 2016, has shared his thoughts on the ongoing debate around Diljit Dosanjh’s film Sardar Ji 3. Speaking in a recent interview, Sami said that an artist may stay away from politics, but “an artist always belongs to his country and must stand up to protect it.”

His statement came just days after Diljit Dosanjh broke his silence on the Sardar Ji 3 row, a controversy that has been in the headlines since the Pahalgam terror attack earlier this year.

Why Did Sardar Ji 3 Face Trouble in India?

The film Sardar Ji 3 features Pakistani actress Hania Aamir opposite Diljit Dosanjh. However, following the Pahalgam attack in April 2024, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) banned Pakistani artists, films, and shows in India.

As a result, Sardar Ji 3 never made it to Indian theaters and was released only in overseas markets.

Adnan Sami’s Take on Nationalism and Art

During the interview, Adnan Sami made a clear distinction between politics and patriotism. He explained:

• “Politics is one thing, nationalism is another. An artist may not follow politics, but he will always be a patriot.”

• “An artist belongs to his country. If someone tries to harm your home, the artist too will rise and defend it.”

• “Art may cross borders, but an artist’s roots are always tied to his nation.”

Sami further added that every artist, regardless of where they come from, deserves respect when they stand for their country.

Diljit Dosanjh Breaks Silence on Sardar Ji 3 Row

At a concert in Kuala Lumpur, Diljit Dosanjh finally addressed the controversy. He clarified that:

• Sardar Ji 3 was filmed in February, while the *Pahalgam attack happened later.

• He and his team have always prayed that terrorists should receive the harshest punishment.

• “I had many answers but chose to stay quiet. Life has taught me not to take poison inside,” Diljit said.

With this statement, Diljit urged fans to understand that the film had no connection to the unfortunate events that followed.

Final Thoughts

The Sardar Ji 3 controversy once again raises questions about the intersection of cinema, politics, and nationalism. While Diljit Dosanjh defended his film and clarified the timeline, Adnan Sami’s message was clear — art is important, but loyalty to one’s country must always come first.
