Meeting with Hania Amir at Diljit’s Concert: “How can a superstar be standing below?”

As soon as Indian singer Diljit Dosanjh made this remark at his concert in London, the audience erupted with cheers.

The “superstar” he was referring to was Pakistani actress Hania Amir, who was in the crowd to watch Diljit’s concert and, at his insistence, went up on stage.

During the performance of the song “Tera Ni Main Lovar,” Hania Amir stood on stage, clapping along.

After finishing the song, Diljit handed Hania the microphone, and she thanked the audience and Diljit. He told her as she left that he enjoys her work.

Previously, Hania Amir had also appeared in various videos with Indian singer Badshah.

Social media users praised Diljit for recognizing Hania Amir and inviting her on stage.

However, just a few days earlier, Diljit faced considerable criticism for calling a fan on stage and making a statement about Pakistan-India relations.

It is noteworthy that Pakistani actors are banned from participating in Indian films, and Bollywood films are not shown in Pakistani cinemas. However, fans from both countries enjoy each other’s content on OTT platforms and YouTube. Indian films are appreciated in Pakistan, while Pakistani music and dramas are viewed in India.

Diljit’s Statement That Sparked Another Divide

Earlier, at a concert in Manchester, Diljit invited a fan on stage and presented her with branded sneakers. He asked her, “Tusi kithon aaye?” (Where are you from?), to which she replied, “Pakistan.”

Diljit then made a statement that ignited a debate on social media. He said, “India and Pakistan, for us, they are all the same… the borders are drawn by our politicians.”

Upon learning that his fan was from Pakistan, he requested loud applause from the concert hall, which the crowd happily provided.

Speaking in Punjabi, Diljit told his fans, “Look! India and Pakistan are the same for us. In the hearts of Punjabis, there is love for everyone.”

“These borders have been drawn by politicians. But for those who speak Punjabi or love the Punjabi language, whether they live here (India) or there (Pakistan), we are all united.”

Diljit, who hails from a small village in Indian Punjab, began his career at the age of 16. He has millions of fans across India, Pakistan, and the world. Diljit is the first Indian Punjabi singer to be invited to the Coachella Music Festival in the USA.

“Diljit’s Words Sound Nice, But Reality Is Different”

This video surfaced when Diljit shared some highlights from his Manchester concert on social media, which have now been viewed millions of times. During this time, users have been vocal about their opinions.

While the sentiment of “Aman Ki Asha” (Hope for Peace) still exists in the hearts of people from India and Pakistan, some users have criticized his statement.

On X (formerly Twitter), a user named Bhagwa Dhari asked Diljit, “Are you really serious? How can India and Pakistan be one? Come on… you’ll say anything to sell tickets?”

Meanwhile, a user named “Patrakar” compared it to disrespecting martyrs and demanded, “Look into the eyes of the widows and orphaned children of our brave martyrs and say this.”

Some Indian users accused that the Sikh minority in Pakistan faces discrimination, while Pakistani users denied this claim.

In response to this tweet, a user named Harsh Sharma stated, “Diljit’s words sound nice, but the reality is that the Sikh community on both sides of the India-Pakistan border faces many challenges.”

Despite this criticism, Diljit’s fans were quick to defend him.

A user named Ghulam Abbas Shah praised Diljit for giving shoes and autographs to his Pakistani fan, saying, “Politicians draw borders, but Punjabis don’t care. Punjabis love everyone.”

He emphasized that Diljit’s music transcends the division of India and Pakistan. “This love goes beyond borders.”

A user commended Diljit for his humility, stating, “The borders were drawn by politicians. This is something some Punjabis—who call themselves soldiers—fail to understand and waste their lives. Such so-called soldiers should feel ashamed.”

“We need people like you, sir. We need more people like you.”
