New Delhi: Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh on Tuesday addressed rumours surrounding the possible cancellation of his upcoming Indore concert over reported security concerns during an Instagram Live session.
In his trademark humorous style, Diljit took a dig at news channels for sensationalising the reports, saying they had added their own “masala” to the story. He also assured fans that he would definitely perform in Indore on November 15.
“15 tareekh ko Indore aa rahe hain, 101 per cent aa rahe hain! Sabse pehle aakar poha khaayenge, phir energy lekar fir chak de phatte,” Diljit said.
“Koi jo marzi bole, main 15 tareekh ko zaroor milunga. Aap bas meri baat par vishwas rakho,” he added.

The upcoming Indore concert has also been in the news following reports that the organisers and venue authorities had allegedly been instructed to ensure that Diljit does not perform songs that could negatively influence children.
Speaking about the instructions, District Officer of the Women and Child Development Department, Rajneesh Sinha, said, “… A concert by Diljit Dosanjh is scheduled to take place at Twenty One Business Park on 15 November. We received a letter from Chandigarh regarding songs that glorify drugs, intoxicants or weapons… In compliance with the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s directions, we have written to the organisers, asking them to ensure that such songs are not performed, as they can have a negative influence on children…”
Diljit kick-started the Indian leg of his Aura Tour on October 30 with a packed show at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
From ‘G.O.A.T.’, ‘Ikk Kudi’, ‘Lalkara’, ‘Ishq Di Baajiyaan’, ‘Naina’ and ‘Kinni Kinni’ to ‘Case’, ‘Panjtaara’, ‘Hass Hass’ and ‘Water’, the singer took the audience on a musical journey through his popular discography.
One of the most-awaited moments of the evening came when he performed ‘Saanson Ki Mala’, drawing an enthusiastic response from the crowd.
