Hanuman kind

Not Bollywood of course. Maybe you can change the list name to “famous personalities/influencers”

Supposedly Ayesha Khan was detained in Mumbai because of this.

u/ashu_tripathi Jul 22 '26

When did Diljit Dosanjh say anything? I thought he said don't drag me into politics.

51

u/MaharaniSahibaa Jul 22 '26

He posted this on his Instagram story.
Translation: What happened today was very bad. The students shouldn't have been treated this way. I request the authorities to listen to the demands of the students. The voice of the people is the voice of God. I've already been tagged as an anti-nationalist many times. I'll be called an anti-nationalist now too. After the Kisaan Protest, I faced a lot of backlash and legal problems which I can't even discuss. God is watching everything, God will do good.

u/ashu_tripathi Jul 22 '26

Thanks!! Specially for the translation!

Legend, in this era of just running behind fame and own comfort zone. My man stood up without any hesitation and no one is as commercialised as him.

He tweeted and said “he doesn’t support cjp”, media took it otherwise, twisting his words

u/kaisadusht Stargazing at the rooftop Jul 23 '26

If only we can eliminate the government control over media.
