Rumours of a supposed rift between Punjabi artists Gippy Grewal and Diljit Dosanjh refuse to die down despite both stars repeatedly denying such claims. During a recent conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Gippy was once again questioned about the alleged tension between him and Diljit. Dismissing these rumours, the singer stated that while they may not be the best of friends, they maintain a cordial relationship.
Not just their fans, even Punjab’s legendary singer Gurdas Maan once speculated that all was not well between the two actors. Recalling an incident, Gippy shared, “I remember we were in Punjab for an award show and Gurdas Maan was performing on stage. He stopped his performance just to say that we are looking good sitting together and that we shouldn’t fight and shouldn’t listen to what people are saying. We were shocked to hear him say this because there was nothing like that. After that, Diljit went on stage and cleared that there is nothing like that.”
Explaining the origin of the baseless speculations, Gippy said, “What happened was that when we started our careers, we did a film Jihne Mera Dil Luteya. That film became a massive hit. So, Diljit set his fees and so did I. Now, to cast us both in the same film would be very expensive for producers. They couldn’t afford both of us. Because of this we never got to wok together and people think that we aren’t working together.”
Gippy also shared a touching anecdote involving his son Shinde Grewal, now a teenager, who met Diljit and expressed excitement at meeting him for the first time. However, Diljit revealed to him that they had met when Shinde was a newborn at a celebration organised by Gippy. Sharing the anecdote, Gippy said, “I talk to Honey Singh and Badshah more compared to Diljit. We talk less to each other because we aren’t that close friends but that doesn’t mean that we have a rift. I remember when my son Shinda went and met Diljit. He told him, ‘I am meeting you for the first time,’ but Diljit refused and said, ‘I have met you before, you don’t remember it. Ask your father.’ When he came and asked me, I told him that we had organised a Lohri celebration when he was born and Diljit came to that celebration and sang songs. My son then went to him and showed him pictures from that ceremony.”
Currently, Diljit is basking in the success of his film Amar Singh Chamkila, while Gippy recently starred in the Punjabi film Jatt Nuu Chudail Takri.
