Diljit Dosanjh’s Dil-Luminati tour finally came to Delhi amidst a huge crowd of fans cheering for the star. The actor-singer is also known for his famous hook-line “Punjabi Aa Gaye Oye” that is a part of all his concerts and live performances. During his Delhi concert, Diljit explained the reason behind this catchphrase to the audience. He recalled Punjabi being the first language he had heard and learned from his mother, which is the reason why he chooses to embrace his mother tongue. He also stated that he deeply respects all other Indian languages.
Diljit also shared a small clip of this moment on Instagram, where he is seen draped in the tricolour, telling the crowd in Punjabi, “When I was born, my mother spoke Punjabi, Punjab. The first word I learned was in Punjabi. Our nation has many languages, and I respect them all. Whether you speak Gujarati, Marathi, Kannada, or Hindi – I respect all of you. But since my mother spoke Punjabi, I also speak Punjabi.”
“And that’s why I say, ‘Punjabi aa gae Dilli oye!'” Diljit concluded, before starting his song from Amar Singh Chamkila, Main Hoon Punjab, as the audience cheered loudly.
Diljit posted the clip with the caption, “Delhi Day 2. ONE LOVE. DIL-LUMINATI TOUR Year 24.” The post has received immense love from fans in the comments section. One user commented, “Panjabi a gye fer chaa v gye oye,” while another wrote, “Absolutely THE BEST”
