Diljit Dosanjh is busy with his Dil-Luminati India Tour and he performed in Lucknow on Friday where he spoke about the reference to alcohol in his songs. He addressed the “fake news” claiming his songs promote alcohol. Diljit Dosanjh has THIS to say about alleged alcohol references in songsRevealing a news anchor's challenge to him to make songs without alcohol references, Diljit told in Lucknow on November 22nd, "There's an anchor on TV who challenged me to make a hit song without alcohol references.
For your kind information, sir, songs like Born To Shine, Kinni Kinni, GOAT, Naina, and Lover are far more popular than Patiala Peg. Your challenge is pointless." ALSO READ: He further added, “I just want to say that if you want to censor songs then the censorship should be on Indian cinema as well.
Which big actor has not done an alcohol song or scene? Censorship should apply to films too. Everyone thinks singers are soft targets, but that's not the case.” He concluded by saying, "My films have received National Film Awards as well.
It's very easy for us to run a disclaimer that alcohol is injurious to health during concerts and sing songs, but then it will look like we are targeting someone. So, if you have spread fake news, I challenge you to run the correct news." The singer shared the video on X (formerly known as Twitter) as well.
Watch it here: For the unversed, as reported by ANI, Diljit performed in Hyderabad on November 15, where he received a legal notice from the Telangana government, asking him not to sing songs promoting alcohol, drugs, or violence. The notice, issued just hours before his performance, cited a complaint from a Chandigarh resident who claimed that Dosanjh had performed songs promoting alcohol and violence at a previous concert in New Delhi.
