"Still, you seem to be obsessed with me"
Diljit Dosanjh and Kangana Ranaut reignited their feud after Kangana suggested that Diljit had “disappeared” from showing his support for the farmers amid their protest.
The Punjabi actor and singer countered her arguments and shut her down, calling her “obsessed”.
Kangana had asked Diljit what exactly was his problem with the laws. She posted:
“Diljit Dosanjh, I am simply asking what exactly you don’t like about the #FarmBills2020?
“For example, I like the fact that now farmers can sell their produce anywhere in the country, just how you can earn money anywhere in the country, I also like the fact they can choose to skip the middle man and sell their products directly to corporates or consumers, everyone feels these are revolutionary steps taken by the government to help the miserable condition of farmers in India, then why are you provoking protests?
“Please help me understand your POV.”
Diljit responded: “I don’t think I owe you any explanation, stop pretending to be an authority on all matters great.
“Still, you seem to be obsessed with me, so here you go, take some time out and listen to this.”
He included a link to a news report.
He also told Kangana: “Alright then, don’t spread reports that I’ve disappeared, I’m only going to sleep.
“We’ll talk in the morning, may Baba bless you all.”

On December 16, 2020, Diljit Dosanjh responded to a news article on Kangana’s tweet targeting him. He said:
“Don’t even think that I have disappeared. Who gave her the authority to decide who is a patriot and who is an anti-national?
“Who made her the authority? Have some shame before you label farmers as anti-nationals.”
Earlier that day, Kangana had tweeted a video, implying that farmers do not know why they are protesting.
She wrote: “I want Diljit Dosanjh and Priyanka Chopra, who are acting as local revolutionaries for the farmers, to make at least one video explaining to the farmers what they have to protest about.
“Both of them have disappeared after inciting farmers. Look at the state of the farmers and the country!”
“When famous celebrities instigate innocents, incite incidents like the Shaheen Bagh unrest and farmers’ protest, shouldn’t there be an investigation into them or a case filed against them?
“Is there no punishment for taking part in such anti-national activities?”
Diljit and Kangana’s Twitter feud began at the beginning of December 2020 after the actress misidentified an elderly protestor as Bilkis Bano.
She claimed that Bano was available to hire as a protestor for Rs. 100 (£1). This prompted criticism from Diljit.
