Diljit Dosanjh Denies Appeal to Be ‘New Face’ of Punjab Politics; Says He's Happier Entertaining: ‘Kadey v Nhi’
The retired-officer group cited Punjab’s debt, hollowed institutions and migration crisis, while Dosanjh said his work is entertainment.
- On Saturday, singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh rejected a public appeal from the Chandigarh-based Jago Punjab Manch to lead the state, stating "Kadey v Nhi" on X.
- The Jago Punjab Manch had issued a full-page appeal citing four crises consuming the state, urging Dosanjh to address a Punjab "brought to its knees by successive dispensations."
- Dosanjh previously faced controversy regarding the Khalistan cause, telling critics his actions are "Only for Punjab" and noting he receives abuse from both sides.
- Following his role in Border 2, the performer is preparing for Main Vapas Aaunga, a 2nd collaboration with director Imtiaz Ali, set to debut June 12, 2026.
- While appeals to film stars are not uncommon in India, this signed request from retired officers has no precedent in Punjab, a state facing polls in early 2027.
