Mika Singh’s latest tweet exploded like a firecracker, calling out Diljit Dosanjh for ghosting the promotion of Border 2. He accused the Punjabi singer‑actor of treating the blockbuster—directed by Anurag Singh and starring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty—as a forgotten footnote.
But Diljit’s silence didn’t stop him from dropping a single post about Sardaar Ji 3, the overseas‑released 2025 drama that featured Pakistani star Hania Aamir. The timing of the tweet was no accident; the film had ridden a wave of controversy after Hania’s casting amid India‑Pakistan tensions.
When Diljit unveiled his first look for Border 2 in December 2025, fans expected a full‑blown promotional blitz. Instead, the actor shared a handful of behind‑the‑scenes clips and a solitary Instagram story that barely mentioned his co‑star Sunny Deol—no “thank you” or hype‑up for the veteran actor. Mika’s quote, “I could be wrong, but I feel that when Border 2 came out, Diljit paaji did not promote it even one per cent,” struck a nerve among Bollywood insiders.
Meanwhile, Sardaar Ji 3’s release overseas in June 2025—without an Indian theatrical run—seemed to be Diljit’s priority. He posted a single promotional clip featuring Hania, but left out Neeru Bajwa altogether. “The only one he posted was about his film with the Pakistani heroine,” Mika added, his tone a mix of brotherly reproach and industry critique.
Fans on Twitter are split: some applaud Diljit for focusing on projects that defy borders, while others lament the lack of social‑media buzz for a film that could have been a patriotic blockbuster. Industry insiders point out that star power in Bollywood still hinges on consistent online engagement, especially after the pandemic‑era shift to digital promotion.
What’s next? Diljit’s team may need to step up the game, or the actor might issue a statement explaining his selective promotion strategy. Either way, this spat reminds us that in the current Bollywood landscape, a star’s silence can be louder than their dialogues.
