In today’s episode of Figuring Out, we have India’s music sensation, Diljit Dosanjh in conversation with Raj Shamani. He is one of the most loved Indian singers in India and globally. This is one of the most special podcasts we had on our channel.

In this episode, we talked about why he mentions Punjab and not India when he performs, how he represented India at Coachella, and the story behind Shah Rukh Khan telling Imtiaz Ali that Diljit Dosanjh is the best actor in India. We further talked about why SRK became a big brand and is loved by everyone, his experience meeting him, the story of him running away from home when he was 7 years old, and why he chose Karan Aujla to write the song G.O.A.T. He also shared stories from his childhood and how his perspective and life changed in 2020.

We further talked about why many artists don’t become successful after 5-7 years in their career and what is he doing right to stay relevant for so many years. We discussed why he works with new artists most of the time and how his music production changed after G.O.A.T. Towards the end, we talked about his love life, his first love, and his diet. He shared his experience performing at Ambani’s wedding and his current music tour. For more such interesting episodes, don’t forget to subscribe to our channel!

I don't have words to express my gratitude to listen to Diljit Dosanjh 😭 how pure he is....

[Abd]

He also especially mentioned And Respected the Indian Flag during his performance at Coachella. Nobody understood/mentioned/ or respected that. Instead Indian news created controversy over it ... and disrespected him, hurt his heart. Nobody understood that. 💖💜

[AmarGupta-fxzr]

I was in Hungary a
on a boat party. I wasn't expecting any Indian songs but I heard Diljit beats coming up. I was surprised! Felt that he is actually a global music sensation!!

[ShubhKarmanSingh-qqeh]

Once he said - khud naal pyar karo pehlan very beautiful line by him 😍 jad tusi khud set nahi ho fer kise nu katta dekhonge trueee lines ❤

[MemeMinute]

I don't usually comment things like these but Diljit seems a very genuine person.

[_Amanza_]

He handled the controversial question so well !!! He was calm and clear. He just spoke his mind. There is a feeling when you say something in your mother tongue. Alag sa josh a jata hai. Proud to be panjabi Indian ❤️🇮🇳

[KingAdvanture]

How patience diljit have.. Host repreating same n same question over again nd diljit just answering same question"s answer gently..

[jeevanrana]

He has become an emotion.. 23 years.. it's almost a half of life.. that's why the vibe..always being relevant, creative, limitless, humble n inspiring... love you Diljit bhaji.. Punjabi aa gaye oye hun tan..

[ishag]

ek ghanta kaise khatam hogya pta hi nhi chala yr!!! Just love Diljit's vibe he is a gem 🥹🤌🥰

[harrissingh]

He represents where he came from that is PUNJAB which is in INDIA
Pls don’t ask these stupid questions we don’t have to prove every-time how much we love our country🙏

[GUPRPEET-Singh]

Its nice to see that he mentioned Mr. Rajinder Singh hora so positively, the owner of "Finetone" record label. The man who gave him his 1st break.

[ShreyashiDebChakraborty]

15:49 so humbleness of Diljit ❤
Insaan ho har ek bhasa ka har ek word ka meaning pata ho jaroori nei hain..but being a star, he didn't hesitate to ask the meaning..

Aise insaan hi chaiye hume as a audience in the industry ❤

[SuperPreet]

Its our Diljit and we love him. His hardwork is paying off. It's Diljit's Era and we are living in it and we should enjoy it. I had chance to attend his concert in Vancover, Canada It was my very first concert and it was unfortgetable concert, We traveled from USA. we bought the tickets 6 months in advance.

[varunmanav]

Raj bhai! I am so glad you asked that question about him not referring himself as INDIAN but punjabi in his shows ..

[ReadwithChimey]

How does Diljit paaji stay this humble & grounded!? He keeps insisting that he doesn't deserve the success, but I can't imagine a more deserving artist. What a beautiful soul!
Why does Diljit paaji think there are other singers that are better than him!? His voice touches the core of my soul, despite not understanding the song. There is no one youer than you, and you are just AHHHHMAZING!
Chaa gaye ho paaji! Keep shining 🌟✨🌟 You are it, and you are lit, Diljit paaji!
Love and respect to all the Punjab artists.

[governmentExamCorner]

English ki beijjati sun kar dil ko bada sukoon aaya....Diljit paaji ko koi load nhi😅....❤ U paaji

[gorohit]

This was like a breath of fresh air! He's so honest, unapologetic, and funny at the same time! Thoroughly enjoyed this interview 🙂

[svinii]

honest suggestion= diljit really wanted to open up about what really changed him in 2020 and tried like 5-6 times to take you deeper into that direction but guess you couldn't take the cue or did not want to go there which might be disrespectful for the guest too. Was really looking forward to know what matters to him now if not money which again he would've answered deeper ques if you would have taken the cue.

appreciation= diljit has never ever opened up this much and talked this freely ever so kudos to you for opening him up like that.
Was a lovely episode. <3

[sankaranandk]

People are commenting left right and center about Diljit like he's gem, pure and what not... But actually he's genius... He didn't spill any of his secret, strategies etc... He dodged every single question of Raj and being chill.... Hats off to the guy... 😬

[manjuhanda]

Purest guy and moreover blessed with guruji 's meher.Real spiritual guy and talks that way only . waheguru apni meher always rakhna ji Diljit te🙏
