Diljit Dosanjh dodges a question about his US citizenship with a joke in the middle of ‘Satluj’ line, he is told to talk to Donald Trump about green card: ‘I don’t ask anyone for favors, his daughter follows me’ | Hindi Movie News

Long ago, reports said that Diljit Dosanjh have US citizenship. Although, the singer, the actor never explained about it. Questions about Diljit Dosanjh’s US citizenship also surfaced on a recent episode of Instagram Live, but the singer avoided a direct response. Instead, he jokingly responded when a fan asked him to apply for a US Green Card while discussing the controversy surrounding his film ‘Satluj’ being released in India.Laughing at the comment, Diljit said, “I’ll take a card and paint it green. I’m not saying anything. Sab chhodke ye news ban jayegi (People will stop everything and make headlines). It doesn’t work like that. The drama of the world will never end. But I believe everyone should be allowed to go to any country without a visa, but the whole world should be. That?”During another chat, a fan jokingly asked him to talk to the US President Donald Trump and help everyone protect American citizens.Diljit laughed at the request, saying, “What do you all think of me? I’m just an artist. How can I ask him to settle the citizenship issue? His daughter follows me, but I’ve never spoken to her. I don’t ask anyone to do me a favor. If something has to happen, it happens. If not, then it’s not.”The statement comes months after *The Indian Express* reported that Diljit became a US citizen in 2022 and traveled on an American passport from September 1 of that year. According to the report, his last Indian passport was issued in Mumbai in 2018. He also said that his wife, Sandeep Kaur, is a US citizen and that, while getting American citizenship, Diljit named a five-room house in an upscale area of ​​California as his home. The singer has not publicly confirmed or denied the claims.A US green card provides permanent resident status (LPR), allowing a person to live, work and study in the United States without requiring temporary visas or employer support. This can lead to US citizenship after meeting residency and other eligibility requirements. Since American citizens do not need a Green Card, Diljit’s light-hearted response has only fueled further speculation about citizenship.The Instagram Live sessions were held mainly to settle the controversy surrounding ‘Satluj’, which was removed from ZEE5 within 48 hours from India. Before reaching the screening platform, the film spent almost three years facing certification hurdles with the censor board. During the interview, Diljit encouraged the audience to watch the film, describing it as an important chapter in the history of Punjab and India. The film is based on the life of Jaswant Singh Khalra, a human rights activist who documented the illegal cremation of thousands of unidentified bodies in and around Amritsar during the insurgency before he was kidnapped and executed.
