Few fans came out in support of Guru Randhawa and one user wrote, 'Guru Randhawa tweeted in support of India and against Diljit Dosanjh (A known K Supporter) and within hours he was forced to delete the tweet and deactivate his X account. The Khalistani ecosystem is far deeper and more dangerous than we imagined! While another one bashed Guru Randhawa and wrote, "Today: Guru Randhawa tweeted related to Country and love for India, as in support of India and it was for Diljit Dosanjh and within hours he deleted or he was forced to delete the tweet and deactivate his X account? He is a Proud Punjabi Artist & Yes people are asking for his song name too #lahore. But.... many things are here to know/share. (Punjabi industry and even Indian Bollywood worked with Pakistani artists). It's a very odd situation for anyone like @diljitdosanjh:)".

Earlier singer Mika Singh had shared a long note, slamming Diljit for acting "irresponsibly" by releasing content featuring an artist "from across the border." Titled 'Desh Pehle (Nation First)', the note read, “Guys, as we all know, the relationship between India and Pakistan isn't going well right now. Yet some people continue to act irresponsibly. Before releasing any content that involves artists from across the border, they should think twice - especially when our nation's dignity is involved.”

Mika Singh said it's "shocking" that despite such examples, some artists fail to understand the gravity of the ongoing tensions between the two neighboring nations. He also slammed Diljit for his silence amid the ongoing controversy, saying he left his fans "betrayed" and "helpless".

"There was a film featuring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor that many of us opposed, and yet, some still don't seem to get the message. What's more shocking is that a fake singer, after doing 10 shows in India with thousands of fans buying tickets, has now disappeared - leaving fans betrayed and helpless," wrote Mika Singh.
