Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh is truly having a global moment. From big stages to red carpets, he’s making waves around the world—and people everywhere are taking notice.
On June 11, Diljit had a special moment in Toronto when he sat down with Recording Academy/Grammys President Panos A. Panay at the TIFF Lightbox. The event was a one-on-one conversation about his rise in music and entertainment. While Diljit’s words were simple and humble, his message was powerful. He spoke in English, and though he was a bit shy about it, the crowd and Panay warmly cheered him on. It was a sweet and genuine moment that reminded everyone why fans love him so much.
This talk was just one part of Diljit’s amazing global journey. In recent months, he’s worked with international stars like Sia and Ed Sheeran, and has dropped hit songs that cross genres and languages. Earlier this year, he even made headlines at the 2024 Met Gala—one of the biggest fashion events in the world.
At the Met Gala, Diljit wore a stunning ivory and gold outfit designed by Prabal Gurung, looking every bit like a modern king. But it wasn’t just his style that made news—it was his cute interaction with Shakira that won hearts online. In a video that quickly went viral, Shakira greeted him during their car ride to the event, saying, “Diljit! Say hi to India.” Diljit responded with a gentle namaste, and fans loved the sweet exchange.
Later, at the Billboard Summit, Diljit shared that Shakira had invited him to join her on tour and even suggested creating an Indian version of “Hips Don’t Lie.” He smiled and said, “It’s going to be tricky, but I’m in.” This exciting news has fans dreaming of a major international collaboration.
The two stars were also seen sitting together at an exclusive Met Gala dinner hosted by Anna Wintour, where they were joined by celebrities like Nicole Scherzinger and Gayle King. Since then, fans have flooded social media asking for a Diljit-Shakira song, calling them a perfect musical duo.
Diljit’s list of achievements keeps growing. He made history as the first Indian Sikh to attend the Met Gala, and he’s also the first Punjabi artist to perform at Coachella and appear on New York’s Times Square billboards. His music has landed on the Billboard charts multiple times, and he continues to break barriers for South Asian artists.
Looking ahead, fans are excited for his upcoming song “Buck” featuring Jackson Wang, showing once again that Diljit isn’t stopping anytime soon.
From his humble beginnings in Punjab to becoming a global star, Diljit Dosanjh is proving that talent, hard work, and staying true to your roots can take you anywhere. With his charm, music, and heart, he’s not just representing India—he’s representing unity through art on a world stage.
