When Diljit Dosanjh touched Amitabh Bachchan's feet on KBC 17 set; watch video
Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh recently graced the set of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) Season 17, hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, creating a moment that fans across the country can’t stop talking about.
A video shared on Team Dosanjh’s Instagram captured the heartwarming interaction between the two stars. As Diljit entered the stage, Amitabh introduced him with pride, saying, “Punjab de puttar Diljit Dosanjh ka main hardik abhinandan karta hoon” (I warmly welcome Punjab’s son, Diljit Dosanjh). The singer responded with respect by touching Amitabh’s feet, after which the host embraced him affectionately.
Diljit then set the stage ablaze by performing his soulful track “Main Hoon Punjab”, leaving the audience and Amitabh deeply moved. The post’s caption read, “Deviyo aur sajjno kehnde kon aa geya (Ladies and gentlemen, guess who’s here!) KBC with @diljitdosanjh.”
Fans flooded the comments section with love and admiration. One wrote, “The crossover episode we didn’t know we needed,” while another praised, “Respect to the man who made Punjabi look premium on global screens.” Others hailed Diljit for representing Punjab on an international level, with a comment reading, “You made us proud, Diljit. Keep shining!”
Earlier, a fan had asked the singer on X (formerly Twitter) about his experience on KBC. Diljit humbly replied, “It’s for Punjab flood,” hinting that his appearance may be tied to a charitable cause.
Meanwhile, Diljit continues to keep busy with his flourishing career. His recent music video “Charmer” with Sanya Malhotra and the single “Kufar” with Manushi Chhillar from his album Aura have both received immense love. Up next, fans will see him sharing the screen with Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan in Border 2.
Currently, the singer is also on his global AURA Tour, performing across cities such as Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, and Auckland, with his final concert scheduled in Bangkok on December 7.
