Actor-musician Diljit Dosanjh has been in the eye of a storm ever since his new film Sardarji 2 was announced with a Pakistani actress in the lead. The film finally released everywhere except in India and is doing roaring business.

Diljit, who was outside the country during all the controversies, arrived in his hometown Amritsar on Monday, July 21, on a private aircraft. News of his arrival had spread across Amritsar like wildfire. Fans thronged the airport.

Diljit didn’t speak to the media or any of the fans, headed straight for the car and left the airport with his entourage.

When I spoke to one of Diljit’s friends about the purpose of his visit, the friend replied, “No business, except to meet family and friends. Although Diljit spends a lot of time abroad, his heart is in Amritsar. He is total Punjabi boy.”
