Diljit Dosanjh's stardom knows no bounds. The actor-singer proudly promotes his culture every time he performs globally. Amid his Aura Tour, Diljit Dosanjh has replied to growing buzz about him becoming the political face of Punjab. He strongly dismissed the idea with a reply stating "Kadey V Nhi (Never)," noting that he is happy entertaining people.
Diljit re-shared an article by a Punjabi newspaper with the headline, "Could Diljit Dosanjh become the new political face of Punjab? #diljitdosanjh," on X, formerly called Twitter. In it, they reported that a group of civil society activists, including retired soldiers and people from various walks of life, made a public appeal to Diljit to enter politics.
Responding to the post, Diljit turned down the appeal and wrote, "Kadey v nhi (never ever)⦠Mera kam entertainment karna (my job is to do entertainment)⦠Am very happy in my field. Thank you so much."
This comes after the actor-singer recently performed in Canada as part of his Aura Tour. The singer stopped the concert midway after noticing some audience members waving pro-Khalistani flags following his appearance on The Jimmy Fallon Show.
On the work front, Diljit was last seen in Border 2, a sequel to J. P. Dutta's 1997 film Border. Set during the India-Pakistan war of 1971, the film stars Sunny Deol alongside an ensemble cast including Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. The film also features Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Medha Rana, and Anya Singh.
He is currently awaiting the release of Main Vaapas Aaunga by Imtiaz Ali. The film marks Diljit's second collaboration with Ali after the biopic Amar Singh Chamkila. Main Vaapas Aaunga is a period romantic drama starring Sharvari, Naseeruddin Shah, and Vedang Raina. The film is set against the backdrop of the 1947 Partition of India and explores themes of love, separation, migration, and memory.
The narrative is expected to follow a romantic relationship shaped and disrupted by historical upheaval, a recurring motif in Partition-era storytelling. The film also reunites Imtiaz Ali with A. R. Rahman and his frequent collaborator, lyricist Irshad Kamil. The film is set to debut in cinemas on June 12, 2026.
