The scissors of the censors strike again as a new film has fallen into the clutches of the censorship. Diljit Dosanjh’s new film ‘Punjab ‘95’ has landed in trouble as the CBFC is hesitant to grant it a release despite the makers ready to comply with a demand of 85 cuts.
A source told Mid-day, “The filmmakers agreed to the 85 cuts, but the CBFC expressed concerns about the film’s sensitive subject matter and questioned its suitability for release in the current climate. A final decision is yet to be made.” A cast member of the film was quoted saying, “The movie might be heavily edited, but the team is determined to get it out there,” the actor stated. “Right now, we’re fighting for its very existence.”
And a recent report by The Indian Express, which has carried quotes by his close friends under anonymity, reveals Dosanjh is actually married to an Indo-American woman and they even have a son.
“An intensely private person, little is known about his family but friends say his wife is an American-Indian and they have a son, and his parents live in Ludhiana,” the actor’s profile reads on the publication.
Dosanjh, who is gearing up for the release of Amar Singh Chamkila , revealed that his parents sent him away at the age of 11 to live with a relative in Ludhiana.
“I was eleven years old when I left my home and started living with my mamaji (maternal uncle). I came to the city leaving my village behind. I shifted to Ludhiana. He said ‘send him to the city with me’ and my parents said ‘yes, take him.’ My parents did not even ask me,” Diljit said while talking to Ranveer Allahabadia.
The Udta Punjab actor said while this decision has strained his relationship with his parents, he respects them a lot. “I used to stay alone in a small room. I used to just go to school and come back, there wasn’t any TV. I had a lot of time. Also, we didn’t have mobile phones back then, even if I had to call home or receive a call from my parents, it cost us money. So I started becoming distant from my family,” revealed Diljit.
