Popular Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh is in the limelight due to his musical tour Dil-Luminati. Recently, Diljit performed in Hyderabad, although before that he received a notice from the Telangana government asking him not to use words like liquor on stage. Now, while talking about getting noticed in his latest show, Diljit has challenged the government that if liquor is banned in every state, he will never sing alcohol-based songs. He has also targeted Bollywood.
Diljit recently shared a video from the Gujarat show. In this he is seen on stage saying, Good news, I didn't get any notice today. There is better news than this. The matter does not stop here. Even today I will not sing any song about alcohol. Ask why. Because Gujarat is a dry state.
I have sung more than a dozen devotional songs. In last 10 days I have released 2 devotional songs. One on Shiv Baba and one on Guru Nanak Baba. But nobody talks about it. Everyone is sitting on TV talking about Patiala Peg. An anchor sir used to say on TV that if an actor speaks differently, you will defame him, but you are making the singer famous. I don't call anyone separately and ask whether you have put Patiala peg or not. I sing too.
Thousands of songs in Bollywood are based on alcohol – Diljit The singer further said that tens of thousands of songs in Bollywood are made on alcohol. I have one song, 2-4 songs at most. I won't even sing that, even today I won't sing those songs. It's very easy for me because I don't drink alcohol myself. But Bollywood actors advertise liquor, Diljit Dosanjh does not. Wherever I go, I silently program myself.'
Diljit continued, “Whatever our states are, if they declare themselves dry states, the very next day, Diljit Dosanjh will not be singing any song on alcohol.” I vow. Everything was closed due to Corona, contracts were not closed sir. what are you saying You can't fool the youth.
Diljit made an offer to the government Further the singer also said, let me give you one more offer. Wherever I have a show, you ban alcohol for a day, I will not sing songs based on alcohol. This is very easy for me. I am a new artist and you say, I can't sing this song, I won't sing that song, hey, what should I do now? I would change the song and it would be just as fun. If alcohol is banned in Gujarat, I am a fan of the government. I want liquor to be banned in Amritsar too. I'll stop singing on the booze, you stop country contracts.
