Controversies	• He attracted a controversy when some Punjabi women raised their voice against the songs of Diljit, Jazzy B, and Yo Yo Honey Singh; as they considered it vulgar and anti-cultural. • In December 2012, a team of the Income Tax Department raided the residence of Diljit Dosanjh in Ludhiana. • In December 2020, he had a war of words with Kangana Ranaut after she misidentified an elderly woman as the ‘Dadi’ (Bilkis Bano of Shaheen Bagh fame) through one of her tweets in which she doubted the intention of her taking part in the ongoing farmers’ protest against the central government’s newly drafted farmer’s bills. Later, the elderly woman was found to be a Sikh woman, Mahinder Kaur. Following this, Diljit took to Twitter to condemn Kangana’s remarks on the elderly woman, and this Twitter war became intense after Kangana retaliated and addressed Diljit a ‘pet’ of filmmaker Karan Johar. Later, Kangana received criticisms from many celebrities including Swara Bhaskar, Richa Chadda, Ammy Virk, Mika Singh, and others. [2]
