Scores of people from Punjab and across the Nation along with celebrities, politicians have taken to social media to support farmers and even lashed out at Kangana Ranaut for her misinformed tweet and calling Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh as Karan Johar’s pet.
It all started when Diljit criticised Kangana for misidentifying an elderly Sikh woman, who had joined the farmers' protest, as Bilkis Bano of Shaheen Bagh. He also shared a video of the elderly lady in question, revealing that she was Mahinder Kaur.
The fight then got uglier with Kangana hitting back at Diljit and calling him filmmaker Karan Johar's pet. To which Diljit retaliated, “Tuneh Jitne Logon Ke Saath Film Ki Tu Un Sab Ki Paaltu Hai...? Fer To List Lambi Ho Jaegi Maalko Ki..? Eh Bollywood Wale Ni PUNJAB Wale aa .. Hikk Te Vajj Sadey Jhooth bol kar logo ko badhkana aur emotions se khailna woh toh aap achey se janti ho”.
