Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa on Thursday broke the internet after he took to his X and shared a cryptic post. Guru Randhawa's cryptic post came at a time when Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has been getting slammed on social media and demand for a boycott, and film bodies are demanding to ban on him in India. Diljit, on the other hand, has clarified that the film was shot much before the Pahalgam Terror Attack and that it producers' money is involved in this and hence, it is not in his hands. In the meantime, Diljit has been getting mixed reactions from the Punjabi industry itself. Singers like B Praak, Mika Singh slammed Diljit on the other hand, Jasbir Jassi, Jyoti Nooran objected to the boycott call.
Guru Randhawa on Thursday took to his X handle and wrote a cryptic note that reads, "(Translated version) When the PR team is more talented than the talent itself, controversies become part of the daily routine. The day is near when our people will open their eyes and know the truth. LOL. 1st of every month, dropping bombs. God bless the fake PR and the artists."
In a follow-up post, Guru tweeted in Punjabi, “Lakh pardesi hoyieee. Apna desh nhi bhandi daa. Jehre mulk da khayie, us da bura nhi mangi da," which loosely translates to: “Even if one becomes a complete foreigner, one must never betray their own country. One should never wish ill upon the land that provides for them."
The Punjabi singer added, "Even if now your citizenship is not Indian, but you were born here, please remember this. This country made great artists, and we all are proud of it. Please be proud of where you were born. Just an advice. Now don’t start controversy again and manipulate Indians LOL. PR is bigger than the artist."
Notably, Guru did not take name of Diljit but fans were quick to link it to the Sardaar Ji 3 actor. While many praised Guru Randhawa for standing up with the nation, many also slammed him for not standing up with Diljit Dosanjh.
Interestingly, hours after his tweet went viral, Guru Randhawa not only deleted his viral X post but also deactivated his social media account. However, the Punjabi singer continues to operate on Instagram.
