PTC Web Desk: Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh has created history by becoming the first Indian artist to sell out an entire stadium in Sydney, Australia. As part of his AURA World Tour, the concert drew a massive crowd of nearly 30,000 fans, with tickets reportedly selling for as high as $800. The electrifying event celebrated the power of Indian music on the global stage, showcasing Diljit’s unmatched charisma and international appeal.
However, his Australian triumph came with an unpleasant experience. Upon arriving in Sydney, the singer faced racist remarks online. Some individuals mocked his arrival by writing comments such as, “The new Uber driver is here,” and “The new 7-11 employee has landed.”
Instead of reacting with anger, Diljit chose grace and compassion. In a behind-the-scenes video shared on his YouTube channel, he addressed the issue beautifully, saying, “I think the world should be one and there should be no borders. I don’t mind being compared to a cab or truck driver. If truck drivers cease to exist, you won’t get bread for your home. I’m not angry; my love goes out to everyone, even the ones who say things like that about me.”
Fans across the globe praised Diljit’s calm and thoughtful response, calling it a reflection of his humility, maturity and grounded personality. His words not only silenced the trolls but also highlighted the importance of respect for every profession.
With his Sydney show, Diljit Dosanjh has once again proven why he’s more than just a music icon ; he’s a global ambassador of Punjabi pride, love, and unity.
