Lucknow: During his Dil-Luminati India Tour concert in Lucknow, actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding his songs and their alleged promotion of alcohol. Responding to a news anchor\u2019s challenge to create hit songs without referencing alcohol, Dosanjh labeled the criticism as \u201cfake news.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a video posted on his X account, Dosanjh highlighted that many of his popular songs, such as \u201cBorn To Shine,\u201d \u201cKinni Kinni,\u201d \u201cGOAT,\u201d \u201cNaina,\u201d and \u201cLover,\u201d do not mention alcohol, countering the anchor\u2019s claims. He emphasized that censorship should be applied uniformly across all media, including Indian cinema, where alcohol references are common.<\/p>\n
Dosanjh also pointed out the selective outrage against singers, stating, \u201cEveryone thinks singers are soft targets, but that\u2019s not the case.\u201d He further defended his artistic integrity, noting that his work has received National Film Awards and is not \u201ccheap.\u201d<\/p>\n
The controversy began after the Telangana government requested Dosanjh to avoid performing songs that glorify alcohol and drugs during his Hyderabad concert. In response, he creatively altered his lyrics and announced similar adjustments for his Ahmedabad concert, respecting Gujarat\u2019s dry-state laws.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
