The name Diljit Dosanjh, the star who sold out tickets for his Abu Dhabi Chapter concert in November as early as August, suggests a schedule so packed that he barely has time to breathe.
Yet, this global superstar, known for breaking records almost daily, frequently shares the importance of ‘me time’ with his fans on Instagram, whether it’s through travel diaries or home cooking videos.
In his latest Instagram reel, Diljit, with his usual charm, is seen engaging in a fun cooking challenge titled ‘Kukad vs. Dosa,’ competing against his chef. The comedy-laden reel quickly went viral on Instagram, amassing 18 million views as of now.
Despite his mega-star status, Diljit’s down-to-earth nature shines through as he interacts with those around him just like any regular person. This humility has earned him widespread praise in the reel’s comment section, with fans admiring his relatability.
However, it wasn’t just the humor and cooking that caught the eye of his fans—especially those from Pakistan.
Towards the end of the reel, Diljit broke into a dance, joyfully singing a line from a controversial song by Pakistani Naat Khawan, Hassan Iqbal Chishti. Yes, you read that right! The line ‘Dance Kar Di Pai Ae,’ from Chishti’s viral song ‘Apni Dhi Schoolon Hata Le,’ was cheerfully sung by Diljit while dancing with his chef.
Fans from both Pakistan and India expressed their surprise at how, despite his packed schedule, Diljit remains so in tune with viral memes from Pakistan. One user commented that the line ‘Daans Kar Di Pai Ae’ was a personal attack on the song’s creator.
The reel has sparked discussions among fans, with one user humorously noting, “Only legends know the secret behind the line ‘Othy Dance Kardi Payi Ae.'”
