'Kade vi nahi': Diljit Dosanjh shuts down speculations of joining politics, says 'happy in my field'
PTC News Desk: Punjab singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has firmly rejected the speculations of diving into the politics, saying his focus remains entirely on entertainment.
The Punjabi singer has been in the news in recent days not only for his Aura 2026 tour, but also for taking on pro-Khalastani elements. His response came after a media report signalled his shift to politics ahead of Punjab Assembly elections slated for 2027.

Mera Kam Entertainment Karna
Am Very Happy in My Field
Thank You So Much ???????? https://t.co/VWMAC8d98q — DILJIT DOSANJH (@diljitdosanjh) May 9, 2026
Speculation around Diljit Dosanjh entering politics intensified after Jaago Punjab Manch — a group of civil society members that includes retired Army personnel and people from different professions — published a full-page advertisement in a leading English newspaper urging him to join politics. The group appealed to Diljit to “seize the moment” and step into public life, making it one of the rare public calls by a social organisation asking a singer to enter politics.
At the same time, a new video from Diljit’s concert in Calgary surfaced ahead of his Winnipeg show in Canada, where he spoke about facing criticism from both sides amid protests by pro-Khalistan supporters. Addressing the audience, he said that people in India call him “Khalistani,” while some pro-Khalistan supporters abroad call him “India wala.” He added that although he feels caught in between, he believes he is following the right path.
The tensions reportedly increased after Diljit criticised people waving Khalistan flags during his Aura 2026 concert in Calgary on May 1.
During his Winnipeg concert, only a small group of around four pro-Khalistan supporters protested against him, but they did not receive wider support from the audience.
