“Diljit Dosanjh Shares Heartfelt Moment with Family at Manchester Concert”
Singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has always kept his family private, often steering clear of personal discussions in interviews.
Recently, however, at his concert in Manchester, UK, he publicly introduced his mother and sister. Diljit has previously emphasized that he avoids the spotlight for his family’s safety.
A touching moment from his concert, captured in a viral video, shows Diljit approaching an elderly woman while singing his emotional track “Haas Haas.” He serenades her with the lyrics, “Dil tenu de ditta main taan soneya, Jaan tere kadma ch rakhi hoyi ae,” and tells the audience, “This is my mom.” He affectionately lifts her hand and bows in respect, bringing tears to her eyes. The crowd cheered as they embraced, and he then introduced his sister, who stood beside their mother, enthusiastically supporting him.
In an earlier interview with Ranveer Allahabadia, Diljit, who rarely discusses his family, shared insights about his childhood. He explained that his relationship with his parents weakened when he moved in with his uncle at 11. He recalled, “At eleven, I left home to live with my mamaji. I moved to Ludhiana, leaving my village. My parents agreed without asking me.”
He described his solitary life in a small room, where he focused on school with no television or mobile phones. This isolation contributed to his growing distance from his family.
Regarding his parents, Diljit expressed, “I have deep respect for my mother. My father is very kind, but he never inquired about my life or schooling. This led to a breakdown in our connection, not just with them, but with everyone.”
Diljit Dosanjh was born in 1984 in Dosanjh Kalan. His father, Balbir Singh, worked as a bus driver, and his parents sent him to live with his uncle, Davinder Singh Sodhi, a noted raagi. It was there that Diljit began to learn music, initially accompanying his uncle on the tabla and eventually performing at local events while still in school.

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas Enjoy a Taste of India at Chef Vikas Khanna’s New York Restaurant, Bungalow
Priyanka Chopra is known for her love of food, particularly Indian cuisine. Her husband, Nick Jonas, has also developed a taste for desi flavors, influenced by his wife.
Recently, the couple brought a touch of India to their dining experience at Chef Vikas Khanna’s famous restaurant, Bungalow, in New York. The restaurant, celebrated for its authentic Indian flavors and cozy, nostalgic atmosphere, has become a popular destination for many international celebrities, including Bollywood stars. Their dinner, shared in glimpses on Instagram stories, featured a festive setting, where Priyanka and Nick, along with Priyanka’s manager Anjula Acharia, enjoyed a meal that fused traditional Indian cuisine with modern twists, offering everything from savory dishes to exquisite desserts.
In true Indian hospitality, the restaurant decorated the dining area with rose petals that spelled out “Welcome,” adding a special touch to the evening. The meal’s standout dishes included a rich molten chocolate cake with cherry compote and gulab jamun ice cream, as well as a mango-themed dessert with coulis, mousse, and raspberries. Nick, affectionately called “Punjabi Jeej” by Anjula, also savored his favorite paneer dish. Priyanka shared her gratitude on Instagram, thanking the restaurant for its hospitality and Vikas Khanna for providing a taste of home. Fans appreciated the couple’s love for Indian food and culture during their New York outing.
Chef Vikas Khanna’s Bungalow has earned recognition as one of New York’s best restaurants, making it to the prestigious New York Times Best Restaurant list for 2024. Opened in March this year, Bungalow is located in New York’s East Village and offers a unique culinary experience that combines the nostalgia of India’s old club culture with the vibrant dining scene of the city. The restaurant, a collaboration between Vikas Khanna and restaurateur Jimmy Rizvi of Bombay House, serves as a tribute to Khanna’s late sister, Radhika, opening on what would have been her 50th birthday. The menu blends regional Indian dishes with modern interpretations, featuring items like Goan Shrimp Balchao Cones, Sindhi Aloo Tuk, and Kashmiri-inspired “Kiss of Kashmir.” The bar offers a selection of cocktails inspired by India, including the turmeric-flavored Kaali Peeli Taxi and the Chai Paani rum punch with a nostalgic Parle-G crumbled.
