Diljit Dosanjh spoke to pro-Khalistan demonstrators and defended his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon during his concert in Canada.

Diljit Dosanjh spoke to demonstrators who were disrupting the event and waving flags during his  Aura tour stop in Calgary, Canada. "Jitne jhande dikhane, dikhao", while restating his commitment to bringing Punjab to international platforms like Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show.

Additionally, Diljit Dosanjh stated that he and his group have actively participated in relief operations for Punjab's flood-affected areas.

The Punjabi singer-actor said, "We love Punjab. Whichever platform I go to, I always talk about Punjab. I always said that the national media doesn't talk about us. The channels I go to, I talk about Punjab. I didn't talk about my songs. I didn't promote anything. I went to that channel for the sake of Punjab."

Diljit Dosanjh On The Jimmy Fallon Show

Diljit Dosanjh recently discussed the historic 1914 Komagata Maru event during his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon after gathering over 50,000 people to his concert in Vancouver, Canada. He linked the 1914 Komagata Maru episode, in which Indian immigrants were refused entry into Canada, to his sold-out concert in Vancouver. He presented the event as a representation of the Punjabi community's perseverance and progress while performing barely two kilometres from the historic location. His story of using international platforms to confront historical injustices was strengthened by this connection, which garnered praise.

In the meantime, Diljit Dosanjh is getting ready for Imtiaz Ali's upcoming film Main Vaapas Aaunga. The movie, which also stars Sharvari and Vedang Raina, will open in theatres on June 12.
