Diljit Dosanjh
Diljit Dosanjh never ceases to leave a mark every time he makes an appearance on screen or at live shows. This time was no different! While the singer received an overwhelming response for his Australian show, he has found himself in a legal soup. As per the latest reports, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) has threatened to shut down Diljit Dosanjh`s concert in response to the Punjabi singer-actor touching Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan’s feet.
The controversy erupted after Dosanjh appeared on Kaun Banega Crorepati and sought Bachchan’s blessings by bowing and touching his feet. Bachchan, who introduced the singer-actor as “Punjab de puttar (the son of Punjab),” reciprocated with a hug, garnering applause from the audience. The episode is slated to air on October 31, 2025. However, the act drew sharp criticism from the separatist organisation.
