Diljit, celebrated for his vibrant music and lively personality, is currently on his 11-city Dil-Luminati tour across India, which kicked off on October 26. In an episode of Raj Shamani's Figuring Out podcast, he opened up about aspects of his life that fans rarely witness, discussing everything from the elaborate production behind his shows to his popular catchphrase, “Punjabi Aa Gaye Oye.”
Through their lively conversation, Raj got Diljit to unveil fascinating facets of his life, offering fans an engaging glimpse into the man behind the music. Diljit’s well-loved catchphrase, “Punjabi Aa Gaye Oye,” has become something his fans look forward to hearing each time he steps on stage or promotes his shows.
He explained that it's more than just a line; it’s a tribute to his Punjabi heritage and a celebration of his roots, symbolizing the pride he feels in his cultural identity. Through this phrase, Diljit emphasizes his connection to his origins and underscores the growing global appreciation for Punjabi music and culture.
During the candid conversation with Raj, Diljit revealed for the first time that he invests more in his concert production than he earns, ensuring his Dil-Luminati shows sell out within minutes. His dedication to creating a remarkable experience for his fans, even at a personal expense, underscores his commitment to unforgettable performances.
Diljit also shared a humorous childhood story, recalling how, at just 8 years old, he tried to run away from home after a memorable incident at school. When the principal requested a meeting with his parents, young Diljit was so intimidated by the idea that he decided to flee, armed with only two bananas and his bicycle. His escape plan, however, didn’t take him far—he was found just 5 kilometers from his village and promptly brought back home.
One of the major highlights of Diljit's interview with Raj was his story about the production of his most expensive music video for "Lover." Filmed in a government building, the video’s hefty price tag was largely driven by the need to adhere to strict government regulations during filming. Diljit proudly shared that the investment paid off, allowing him to bring his vision to life and deliver a memorable experience for his fans.
The Lover singer also expressed a deep sense of contentment and fulfillment in life, embracing a fearless approach to everything he takes on. His current mindset, marked by steadfast confidence, reflects years of growth and life experience—a journey that has shaped his outlook and empowered him to live boldly and without hesitation.
