A recent surge in the circulation of a video featuring Ayushmann Khurrana singing ‘Dil Dil Pakistan’ has triggered online criticism, with allegations of insensitivity during times of conflict. The controversy revolves around a misleading clip that lacks crucial context and is being propagated by a user on X, who has a history of spreading disinformation.
The user, known for previous instances of misinformation, accused Khurrana of singing the song during a period of alleged harm caused by Pakistanis to Indian soldiers and citizens, attempting to link it to the actor’s sentiments about the Ram Mandir. However, a thorough investigation reveals a different story.
What is the truth?
The clipped video dates back to 2017 when Ayushmann Khurrana performed at a concert in Dubai, paying tribute to various regions in India and Asian countries. The complete video narrative, available on an unverified YouTube channel, shows Khurrana acknowledging people from different Indian states before singing ‘Dil Dil Pakistan’ as a tribute to his Pakistani friends. The actor then went on to perform ‘Chak De India’ with his brother and also sang for various Asian nations.
Verification through multiple sources, including a Gulf News report and Khurrana’s official social media handle, confirms the authenticity of the video and its context.
The motive behind the misleading claims appears to be a deliberate omission of the broader context of the performance. Critics fail to acknowledge that Ayushmann Khurrana also sang ‘Chak De India’ during the same event, undermining any insinuations of insensitivity.
Furthermore, recent participation by the actor in the inauguration ceremony of the Ram Mandir on January 22 refutes claims of insensitivity and emphasizes the importance of considering the full picture before passing judgment. In conclusion, the allegations against Ayushmann Khurrana lack merit, and the actor’s actions and the video in question are taken out of context to create unwarranted controversy.
