Jassie Gill Responds to Trolls Questioning His Role During Punjab Floods: “Sewa Isn’t Measured by Social Media Posts”

Punjabi singer and actor Jassie Gill has spoken out strongly against online criticism directed at him amid the ongoing flood crisis in Punjab. Facing backlash from some social media users who claimed he wasn’t visible during relief efforts, Gill clarified that he has been actively involved in helping people—just not broadcasting it online.

In an emotional note shared on his social platforms, Jassie addressed the negativity, highlighting how artists are often unfairly targeted during crises, while those actually in positions of power escape scrutiny.

“Main eh post pauni nahi si, par pata nahi kyu har vaar kise v gall vich kuch log kalakaaran nu target bana lainde aa,” he began, expressing his reluctance to even make the post, but feeling compelled due to the recurring blame aimed at celebrities.

Gill questioned why public anger is so often misdirected at artists rather than elected officials. “Thonu nahi lagda eh kaam kalaakaaran naal zyada ohna lokan da hunda jo tuhade area de MLA ya MP ne? Je kise nu sawaal karna vi ae, taan pehle ohna to karo jinna nu tusi votan de ke othe bhejeya ae,” he said, reminding people that politicians are entrusted with such responsibilities, not entertainers.

He also made it clear that his decision not to publicize his relief work stems from personal belief, not lack of action. “Ki main apna dukh post karke hi dikhawa? Ki main ohna di madad kar k zaroori ae k post paawa taan hi meri sewa manni jave?”

Gill stated that he prefers to help quietly, without seeking validation through online visibility. “Meri soch te meri aatma menu ehda karan di ijaazat nahi dindi,” he wrote, affirming that he serves out of duty, not for digital approval.

The post has since gone viral, with thousands of fans and fellow artists applauding Jassie for his dignity and humility in addressing the trolls. Many have echoed his sentiments, urging the public to focus their questions on those in power rather than expecting performers to take on civic responsibilities.

As Punjab continues to grapple with the devastation caused by the floods, Gill’s words serve as a reminder of the silent contributions many make without the need for social media applause. “Punjabi jamme, te Punjabi hi marna,” he signed off — a powerful message of belonging and responsibility beyond the glare of the public eye.
