"Be it India or Pakistan, it is one for me. There is immense love for all in the hearts of every Punjabi. These borders are made by politicians, but people who know Punjabi, whether from here or there, we are all the same. So people who have come from my country India, and those who have come from Pakistan, I welcome you all. Thank you ma'am,” Dosanjh said in the video.

As soon as this video went viral, it left fans divided on social media. One of them wrote, "It will be nice if you call yourself Indian and not identify as only Punjabi. If everyone start identifying with state, India will be scattered in pieces." The second person commented, "Now tell this to the family of martyr." The third person commented, "Soldiers who lost their life while protecting bharat maa from terrorism:- Inke liye shaheed hua mai?" The fourth person said, "Easy to say when your family is not directly affected by the ongoing terrorism from Pakistan ask those soldiers families who have been affected."
