Diljit Dosanjh ’fly karda’ in private jet amid Dil-Luminati controversies: ‘I don’t care duniya ki boldi’

Amid Diljit Dosanjh’s ongoing India leg of the Dil-Luminati tour and the controversies that have followed, the singer was seen enjoying a lavish ride in a private jet, unfazed by the buzz surrounding his concerts. Enjoying his track ‘Don’ with some champaigne, Diljit Dosanjh emphasised his indifferent stance towards the controversies with “I don’t care duniya eh ki boldi.”

“I don’t care duniya eh ki boldi, main ta dena eh jawab meri maa nu, main krda fly firda, fly firda [I don’t care what the world says; I only have to answer my mother, I keep flying around, flying around],” Diljit Dosanjh sings, signing off with “O aa gaye o Mumbai oye”.

The singer has shared the video of him flying to Mumbai onboard a private jet on his Instagram handle. Undeterred by the recent controversies in Chandigarh after a show, Diljit Dosanjh is set to perform in Mumbai today, December 19.

On December 13, the Punjab and Haryana High Court had allowed Diljit Dosanjh’s concert scheduled to take place the next evening, December 14, with a direction that the organisers comply with the noise pollution regulations.

“Let’s do something, let’s start a movement. If all states declare themselves dry states, I’ll stop singing songs on alcohol from the very next day… I will stop singing about alcohol, you shut the ‘thekas’ in the country… I take a pledge,” he said.
