Singer Mika Singh has spoken about his equation with Diljit Dosanjh, saying he has no jealousy and is proud of the Punjabi star's success. In a conversation with Times Now, Mika said that after Daler Mehndi, Diljit is the singer who has achieved the most success while wearing a turban, and that he is doing a great job. He then raised questions about how Diljit handles the promotion of his Hindi films.
Mika said he may be wrong, but he did not feel Diljit promoted "Border 2" at all. According to Mika, Diljit never publicly thanked Sunny Deol or described the film as a big opportunity, and he did not see any post about it after release. He added that Diljit also did not post about "Main Wapas Aaunga," and said the only film he saw Diljit promote was the one featuring a Pakistani actor, a reference to "Sardaar Ji 3" with Hania Aamir.
Mika described "Border 2" as one of the country's biggest films and a story about India. He questioned why someone who works in Bollywood would not promote it, then say he does not need Bollywood while continuing to work there. He said he was speaking as a brother. He also pointed out that Neeru Bajwa, who appears in "Sardaar Ji 3," was not mentioned in Diljit's posts, and said all work should be promoted.
What the Record Shows
Mika's claims are his own opinion, and they do not fully match the public record. Diljit shared his first look from "Border 2" in December 2025 and took part in other promotional activity, including the trailer. He also posted behind-the-scenes videos from the shoot.
The "Sardaar Ji 3" Controversy
In 2025, "Sardaar Ji 3" drew controversy over Hania Aamir's casting. The film was not released in Indian theatres and instead opened overseas on June 27, 2025. The film also stars Neeru Bajwa.
Mika's Past Support
Despite his criticism, Mika said he stood by Diljit when Khalistani groups criticised him, calling him "our Sardar boy" and saying Diljit is taking Punjabi music to the next level. He also recalled that Diljit once visited often, ate butter chicken with him, and used his Lokhandwala studio, with Diljit's manager Sonali calling him for urgent recording slots. Mika added, with a light touch, that Diljit is now vegetarian.
Why It Matters
The remarks touch a recurring debate about how crossover artists balance Punjabi and Hindi film work, and how social media activity gets read as loyalty or distance. Mika's comments are a personal view, and Diljit has not responded in the source. His reaction, if any, will decide whether this becomes a larger public exchange.
