Punjab or Panjab
When Diljit Dosanjh was on his Dil Luminati tour, he mistakenly generated a buzz online with a promotional post. Ik Kudi singer made a post, where the spelling of Punjab was spelt as ‘Panjab’, which made fans believe that he was hinting at the Pakistani interpretation of the state’s name. Diljit made a clarification on this and mentioned that ‘Panjab’ is a historically correct transliteration, which means "land of five rivers." He added it had no political connection.

Alcohol related songs during the Karnataka concert
Continuing with his Dil Luminati tour, while he was on his south leg, the singer got a legal notice from the Karnataka’s state government. Ahead of the Telangana concert, Diljit Dosanjh was banned from performing alcohol related songs. Some fans supported the government’s decision, while others defended the artist’s work. Amid all this, the singer didn’t change his song list, but tweaked the lyrics of his songs.
