Diljit Dosanjh shuts down trolls and makes history at Coachella!
Unfortunately, some misinterpreted his words and accused the singer of disrespecting the national flag.
PTC News Desk: Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh recently addressed those trolling him for a statement he made while performing at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
During his second gig, he said in Punjabi, "Eh mere Punjabi bhain bhraawan layi, mere desh da jhanda laike khadi aa kudi, eh mere desh layi, negativity ton bacho, music saareyan da saanjha (This girl is carrying my country's flag, this is for my country and everyone. Music belongs to all, don't use it to spread hate)." Unfortunately, some misinterpreted his words and accused the singer of disrespecting the national flag.
The singer tweeted in Punjabi on Tuesday night, "Don't spread fake news and negativity. Mai kiha eh mere desh da jhanda hai. Eh mere desh Lai.. Means meri eh performance mere desh lai je Punjabi nhi aundi tan Google kar leya karo yaar...Kion ke Coachella ek big musical Ffestival aa othey har desh to log aunde ne.. that's why music sab da sanjha hai. Sahi gal nu puthi kive ghumauna koi tuadey wargeya ton sikey enu v Google kar lo," which roughly translates to, "I had said this is my country's flag, which she got here. This means she got my performance in my country. If you don't understand Punjabi then please Google because Coachella is a big music festival which is attended by people across the world. That's why music is for everyone. How to twist the right words, one should learn from you guys."
In response to this, Diljit Dosanjh tweeted, "Please Google the song, 'Jhanda'. Don't spread fake news and negativity." He clarified that his words were meant to promote positivity and unity amongst all and requested his trolls not to spread negativity.
