Whether you write Punjab or Panjab, it’s still Panjab.” While further explaining the meaning of ‘Panjab’, he added, “Land of five rivers”.
He added, “Hats off to people using a foreign language (English) to push baseless theories. From now on, I’ll write Panjab in Gurumukhi. No matter what, you won’t stop, so keep going. How many times must we prove our love for India? Try something new instead of spinning conspiracies.”
ਪੰਜਾਬ 🇮🇳
Kisi ek Tweet Mai Agar ਪੰਜਾਬ ke Saath 🇮🇳 Flag Mention Reh Gaya Toh Conspiracy
BENGALURU ke Tweet Mai bhi Ek Jagha Reh Gaya Thaa Mention Karna..
Agar ਪੰਜਾਬ Ko PANJAB Likha toh Conspiracy
PANJAB Ko Chaye PUNJAB likho..
ਪੰਜਾਬ ਪੰਜਾਬ Hee Rehna 😇

He recently expressed his frustration about the poor infrastructure for live shows in India and said he won’t perform until the stage is not at the centre. During his show, Diljit told the crowd, “Here we don’t have infrastructure for live shows. This is a source of big revenue, many people get work and are able to work here…I’ll try next time that the stage is at the centre so that you can be around it. Till this happens, I won’t do shows in India, that’s for sure.”
On the work front, Diljit recently collaborated with Shah Rukh Khan for the song ‘Don’. He earlier teamed up with Pitbull for the title track of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’.
