MUMBAI: Punjabi sensation Diljit Dosanjh during his Dil-Luminati Tour expressed his love for the country and added “yeh pagdi hamari shaan hai.”

Diljit was heard saying “Inki pagdi ke liye zor daar taaliya. Yeh pagdi hamari shaan hai. Yeh humari desh ki khoobsurati hai… (Please clap for his turban. The turban is our pride. This is the beauty of our country.)”

“Har do-teen chaar ghante baad humaari boli, khaana change hojata hai. Yeh humaari desh ki beauty hai. (In every two-three hours our language and food changes. This is the beauty of our country.)”

He then talked about his love for the country.

“Aur hum jaahan jaahan se hai – koi Jaipur se hai, Koi Gujarat se hai, Delhi se hai, Haryana se hai, Punjab se hai,-- Hum sab ko pyaar karte hai. Aur hum sab ke saath is desh ko pyaar karte hai. Marwariyo ke liye zor daar taaliyon. (And wherever we are from Jaipur, Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana or Punjab – We love all. And together we love our country. Please clap for my Marwari brother.)”

The "Dil-Luminati tour", Diljit’s performance in Delhi marked the beginning of his extensive 10-city tour. The tour includes stops in various cities such as Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Pune, and Kolkata, among others.
