As Diljit engaged with Senior Bachchan, who was thrilled to have him on board for the programme, he displayed his lively side. Diljit respectfully stroked Big B's feet as he announced his presence, and the Sholay actor hugged him right away. Netizens on social media were captivated by the viral moment.

Diljit also interacted with a fan who told him how smitten she was with his voice and also requested he sing a song titled ‘Ek Kudi’ for her, and the singer politely obliged.

It was only recently that Moneycontrol reported that Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), a pro-Khalistan group located in the US, has threatened Diljit Dosanjh's concert in Australia scheduled for today due to a "contentious" encounter with Amitabh Bachchan.

Diljit's recent appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, when he was observed politely patting Amitabh Bachchan's feet while meeting him, is the source of the issue. According to SFJ, this conduct denigrates the victims of the anti-Sikh riots in 1984. "Diljit Dosanjh has insulted every victim, widow, and orphan of the 1984 Sikh Genocide by touching the feet of Bachchan, the man whose words orchestrated genocide," the group stated in a statement.
