In a daring moment during an online Live session, Tahira Bhasin, a reporter for the Punjabi online news channel ABP Sanjha, refused to grant Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh a favour by writing a positive review of his upcoming film Ambersariya. While promoting the film in Chandigarh, Diljit candidly asked Tahira to overlook the film’s negative aspects and write a favourable review. Ambersariya is set to release on March 25.
Upholding Journalistic Integrity
Brave journalist Tahira immediately rejected his request on camera, stating that she would address both the positive and negative aspects of the film in her review. Diljit then attempted to persuade her, saying, “Apne bandeyan diyan kamiyan nahi dassidiyan” (We shouldn’t highlight the shortcomings of friends), but she ignored his plea completely.
Applause for Courage
Team JP applauds Tahira for her courageous stance and urges all stars to respect journalistic integrity, ensuring the ethos and dignity of individual journalists and media houses remain intact. Such humour not only undermines the particular journalist but also raises questions about the authenticity of their reports.
A Call to Action for Journalists
We also encourage all journalist friends to resist such undignified pressures from stars and uphold their own dignity as well as that of their communities. Watch the live video below.
