Diljit Dosanjh says he didn't get fame overnight, worked for 22 years: 'Cost me a lot of things'

Diljit Dosanjh has been on a roll, on both the acting and music fronts. After his groundbreaking debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the singer-actor is currently busy promoting his upcoming film 'Jatt and Juliet 3'. Recently, Diljit was in Chandigarh for a promotional event and spoke about his deep connection to Punjab. He also discarded the theory that his success is overnight, stressing how he has been working tirelessly for 22 years to attain his current stardom.

Diljit on his Punjab connection

Diljit said that he always finds time amidst his chaotic schedule to return to Punjab to re-energize himself. He said, “I have promised to do one Punjabi film and an album each year. Baaki sab bachon, Punjab pehlan e (Everything comes after Punjab).”

'All those years of hard work have now paid'

The singer further stated that his current position is a result of his 22 long years of hard work. “It’s not overnight fame. You can never make it happen in one day. I have been in the industry for almost 22 years and have worked day and night to stand where I am today. This cost me a lot of things, I couldn’t give my family much time. All those years of hard work have now paid rich dividends, but I have more things planned. Just wait and watch,” he said.

Diljit is currently on a break from his North American music tour, Dil-Luminati, to focus on the promotional activities of 'Jatt and Juliet 3'. Also starring Neeru Bajwa, the film is slated for a theatrical release on June 28, 2024.
