'Let's Talk About Real People': Diljit Dosanjh's First Director Guddu Dhanoa Refuses To Comment On Him, Takes Dig At How Fame Changes People

Director Guddu Dhanoa, who gave singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh his first break with the 2011 Punjabi film The Lion of Punjab, was recently asked to comment on the Lover singer. However, he refused to do so and responded with a cryptic answer, hinting at how people change after gaining fame in the industry, which has now sparked speculation about a rift between the duo.

In an interview with Friday Talkies, Dhanoa said, "Let's talk about positive people, real people, nice people, good people." The filmmaker also took a dig at singer Sunidhi Chauhan, revealing that while she once touched his feet, she now does not even answer his calls. He added that he fails to understand why people change and mentioned that he has come across various kinds of people throughout his life.

"I still remember when we were shooting Bichhoo, I saw a 14-15-year-old Sunidhi singing Ek Vari Tak Le, and I was stunned that she sang that song for the movie. She touched my feet, and I hugged her, but people forget all this later on. I even called her a few days ago, but she neither answered nor replied," added the filmmaker.

"When you are starting out, you will touch the person’s feet, hug them, call them godfather, even god, and they will talk a big game, but later on, everyone changes," added Dhanoa.

Meanwhile, Diljit Dosanjh is yet to react.

On the work front, Diljit is currently awaiting the release of Punjab 95, based on the life of Sikh activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. The film has been delayed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for over a year.

Next, the Punjabi singer has Border 2 with Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty in the lead.
