Banita Sandhu Attends Diljit Dosanjh’s Concert Amid Feud
AP Dhillon’s rumoured girlfriend Banita Sandhu attended Diljit Dosanjh’s Mumbai concert, adding fuel to the singers’ ongoing feud. Videos showed Banita vibing to Diljit’s hit songs at the Mahalaxmi Race Course event on December 19. This appearance raised questions, especially since Banita skipped AP Dhillon’s Mumbai concert on December 7.
The feud between Diljit and AP Dhillon has been making headlines for weeks. Recently, AP claimed Diljit blocked him on Instagram, which Diljit denied. Afterward, AP shared a screen recording to prove he could now access Diljit’s profile. This back-and-forth left fans divided over the nature of their relationship.
Banita Sandhu’s presence at Diljit’s concert has sparked breakup rumors with AP Dhillon. Banita, who starred in AP’s music video With You, was earlier linked romantically with the singer. Their chemistry in the video fueled speculation about their relationship.
Interestingly, Banita attended the screening of AP Dhillon’s docu-series AP Dhillon: First Of A Kind last year. After the event, she shared affectionate photos with AP on social media, hinting at a close bond. However, neither Banita nor AP has confirmed these rumors publicly.
Banita Sandhu, known for her Bollywood debut in October, also starred in the Tamil film Adithya Varma and Netflix’s Bridgerton. Her appearance at Diljit’s concert has left fans wondering about her current relationship status and her take on the singers’ feud.
As speculation grows, Banita continues to enjoy the music scene, seemingly unaffected by the ongoing drama. Whether this fuels breakup rumors further remains to be seen.
