Diljit Dosanjh, known for his high-energy performances and infectious charisma, found himself in a bit of an awkward yet hilarious situation during his concert in Hyderabad on November 15. Just before taking the stage, he received a notice from the Telangana government, warning him about singing songs that allegedly promote drugs and alcohol. This notice came after a complaint from a resident of Chandigarh, following Diljit's previous performance at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium last month, where similar songs had raised concerns.
A post shared by supersingh_braham (@dil_luminatii) Rather than letting this setback dampen the mood, Diljit turned the situation into a moment of comedy and creativity. In compliance with the court order, he decided to humorously tweak the lyrics of his songs. Known for his lighthearted approach to life, Diljit laughed off the situation, engaging with his audience and making them laugh along with him.
One of the most memorable moments came when he changed the lyrics of one of his popular songs. The original line, “Tainu teri daaru ch pasand aa Lemonade” (which translates to “You like your alcohol with lemonade”) was altered to “Tenu teri coke ch pasand aa Lemonade” (meaning “You like your Coke with lemonade”), adding a playful twist to the song and keeping the atmosphere upbeat. This impromptu lyric change quickly went viral, as Diljit’s official Dil-Lumanati tour handle shared the clip with his fans.
Social media erupted with laughter and support, with fans praising his quick wit and ability to turn a potentially uncomfortable situation into something fun. Many admired how Diljit handled the legal issue with grace and humor, making light of the notice without losing his trademark charm. The incident also sparked a broader conversation about the role of music and its influence, particularly when it comes to lyrics that reference substances like alcohol.
While the legal notice was serious, Diljit’s playful approach highlighted the idea that music can be a form of expression that doesn’t always need to be taken literally. It also raised questions about the fine line between artistic freedom and social responsibility, especially in an age of increasing scrutiny over what entertainers say and do. Diljit Dosanjh during his Hyderabad concert on Saturday, took a dig at the Telangana government for banning his songs with alcohol and violence references.
"When artists come here from other countries, they are allowed to do whatever they want...
but when an artist from your own...

Rather than let the notice overshadow his performance, he turned it into a feel-good moment that was just as memorable as his music. His ability to laugh at himself and keep the energy positive only reinforced his status as not only a talented artist but also a genuinely entertaining personality. As always, Diljit proved that his off-stage presence is just as captivating as his on-stage performances.
