Diljit Dosanjh recently gave a historic performance at the Coachella music festival. In a recent chat with ABP Sanjha, the actor-singer revealed some behind-the-scenes details of his performance. Diljit said that his performance was scheduled to start at 6:50 pm sharp but just moments before they were about to go on stage, a foreigner accidentally pulled out the cable of the keyboard which caused a minor delay.

“Someone had pulled out our keyboard’s cable accidentally. It was supposed to start at 6:50 but didn’t. The stage was empty. I was looking at the time, and I was losing time because the performance had to end at 7:30 and you can’t even extend it even by a minute because the sound would get disconnected. I was too worried then. I thought that one who has brought me here, he is only playing these tricks then I just let it happen on its own.” he shared in Punjabi.

Diljit’s line on the stage ‘Punjabi aa gaye Coachella oye’ has resonated with his fans all over the globe. On being asked how he came up with it, the actor-singer said, “I didn’t think of this line. It was just what I was feeling after the first song. I thought I’ll speak in English on stage. ‘Yo guys, you feel good’ – I thought I’ll say something like that,” he shared with a laugh.

Diljit Dosanjh then shared an incident that happened ten days before his performance where he realised the gravity of the moment. “We were all excited. Almost 10 days ago, someone made me realise that ‘do you know that this is going to be a historic moment?’. I said, ‘I know, no one has been there before.’ The person said, ‘No, for the first time someone will speak in Punjabi on the stage.’ I did not think of that. I was thinking that an Indian artiste, a Punjabi artiste from India is going there so my performance has to be up to the mark,” he shared.

“The line ‘Punjabi aa gaye Coachella oye’. That wasn’t just my feeling. That is why it connected with everyone because that didn’t just come out of me. The person who told me, it was their feeling and they thought that this isn’t just you, it’s all of us,’ Diljit shared.

Diljit Dosanjh will soon be seen in the Punjabi film Jodi.
