Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh's ex-manager, Sonali Singh, defended him amid controversy over working with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in 'Sardaar Ji 3', calling the criticism "disheartening and unfair". "All he's trying to do is mitigate the losses as much as he can for the producers [and] crew," she said. Sonali added, "Let us stop punishing our artists for being human first."
