Diljit Dosanjh on becoming political face of Punjab: ‘Kadey V Nhi’

MUMBAI: Punjabi sensation Diljit Dosanjh has replied to a growing buzz about him becoming the political face of Punjab. He strongly dismissed the idea with a reply stating “Kadey V Nhi (Never)”, making it crystal clear that politics is not on his radar as his work is “entertainment.”

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.

Replying to it, he 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.”

The news article comes after an appeal made by “Jago Punjab Manch” started to do the rounds on the micro-blogging website.

The appeal was addressed to Diljit. It read: “JAGO PUNJAB… APPEAL TO DILJIT DOSANJH… Call to the Conscience, Courage & Change of Every Punjabi Who Still Dares to Hope.”

It read pointers such as: “The wound that will not heal: Punjab Government decline. A society fracturing at it seams. The communal threat: A virus the apolitical cannot afford to ignore, The fauji factor: When service becomes citizenship.”
