What did Diljit Dosanjh say on stage?
During the emotional interlude, Diljit opened up about his spiritual state and his views on mortality.“I have already left this world. I don’t have any fear of death. Last December, I was trying to get out of this body. But now I still have to do a few more things before I leave this body. There is nothing to be afraid of,” the singer said.Dosanjh further connected his personal journey to his roots and his faith, stating, “This is not just a matter of Punjab; it is and will always be. I have already left this world; this is the truth. I am standing on this stage, and this is my God.”Despite the heavy subject matter, he urged his fans to choose a path of peace and empathy, “I have no fear of death, and I don’t have any animosity towards anyone. I love everyone. Love, respect, and forgiveness. I am trying to bring this into my life as much as I can. Those who are still with me, this is the name of Punjab. I am Punjab. What do you say?”

The footage quickly migrated to platforms like Reddit and Instagram, where it triggered a wave of concern. Many fans pointed to the “nonstop hate” and trolling that often accompanies Diljit’s massive fame, drawing parallels to other global artists who struggled with mental health at the peak of their careers.One concerned user noted the similarities to past tragedies, “Unfortunate how people troll this. Avicii, Chester Bennington, Amy Winehouse, SSR — so many were lost when they were at the peak of their career… I really hope Indians start taking mental health seriously instead of trolling and making it worse.”
