Diljit Dosanjh, the man who’s been stealing hearts worldwide with his electrifying concerts, is now taking a bold stand on a topic that’s hotter than his hit tracks – alcohol endorsements. And trust Diljit to keep it real while doing so. The Punjabi superstar has declared that he’ll ditch singing about alcohol completely on one very cheeky condition.
No Alcohol, No Problem – Diljit Dosanjh Lays Down the Rules
At his recent concert in Ahmedabad, Diljit made it clear: he’s no fan of the bottle. Not only does he avoid drinking, but he’s also firmly against promoting booze. But here’s the twist – he’s challenging India to join him in a dry movement. “If all the states in India declare themselves dry, then I promise I won’t ever sing songs about alcohol again. Is that possible? (laughs) It’s a huge revenue source. Even during COVID-19, everything was shut down except for alcohol shops. What are you saying? You can’t fool the youth,” he quipped, leaving fans both amused and impressed.
Diljit Believes bollywood promotes alcohol
While Diljit is busy setting an example, he didn’t shy away from throwing shade at Bollywood celebs for endorsing alcohol brands. In a fiery Instagram rant, he called out the hypocrisy, saying, “Today, I won’t sing those songs either. It’s simple for me to adjust my lyrics. Main khud sharab nahi peete (I don’t drink alcohol).”
He also pointed out that he’s written only a handful of songs about alcohol in his entire career, unlike others who make a living off it. “It’s easy for me. But Bollywood artists promote alcohol ads—Diljit Dosanjh doesn’t. Don’t provoke me. I quietly do my shows and leave. Why are you bothering me?,” he declared, making sure his point hit harder than a Patiala Peg.
Diljit had a fun proposal for his audience: make his concert dates official dry days. “If all the states in India declare themselves dry, then I promise I won’t ever sing songs about alcohol again. Is that possible? (laughs) It’s a huge revenue source. Even during COVID-19, everything was shut down except for alcohol shops. What are you saying? You can’t fool the youth,” he shared.
Cheers to a Movement (Without the Drinks)
Not stopping there, Diljit expressed admiration for Gujarat’s no-alcohol policy and shared his wish for his hometown, Amritsar, to follow suit. He even hinted at sparking a nationwide movement to ban alcohol altogether, but let’s be real – he knows that’s a tall order, considering the revenue it rakes in. His playful tone, however, made it clear he’s serious about leading by example.
What Sparked This Response?
Recently, Diljit faced some unexpected drama when the Telangana government sent him a notice just hours before his Hyderabad concert. The complaint specifically mentioned his hit tracks Patiala Pegg and Panchatara, accusing him of glorifying alcohol and violence. But Diljit, ever the cool-headed star, turned the situation into an opportunity to spotlight a bigger issue.
Diljit’s Dil-Luminati Tour: Next Stop, More Love
As if his candid remarks weren’t enough to keep him trending, Diljit is currently on a roll with his Dil-Luminati Tour. Having just wrapped up Ahmedabad, he’s heading to Lucknow next, followed by stops in Pune, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and more. The tour will wrap up in Guwahati on December 29, and let’s just say the energy is going to be as high as ever – sans the booze, of course.
Whether it’s his soulful tunes, swag-filled performances, or bold stands on social issues, Diljit Dosanjh is the full package. While Bollywood may be busy clinking glasses, Diljit’s out here clinking hearts with his authenticity.
