Prime Minister Narendra Modi and global sensation Diljit Dosanjh came together on New Year’s Day for a heartwarming interaction, highlighting the power of Yoga and the global success of Indian talent. The meeting, marked by mutual respect and admiration, captured the essence of India’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage.
A Celebratory Meeting
Diljit Dosanjh, the multi-talented singer and actor, recently concluded his blockbuster Dil-Luminati tour in Ludhiana. The tour’s success resonated globally, drawing fans from all walks of life. To honor his achievements, PM Modi extended his congratulations during their meeting. Diljit later shared snapshots and videos of the encounter on social media, giving fans a glimpse into their candid discussion.

In the video, PM Modi commended Diljit’s rise from a humble Indian village to global stardom, remarking, “When a boy from an Indian village becomes famous on a global stage, it feels good. Your family named you Diljit, so you are winning everyone’s hearts.” Diljit reciprocated the sentiment, sharing, “We would read ‘Mera Bharat Mahan’, but when I started traveling around the country, that is when I realized why they say ‘Mera Bharat Mahan’.” PM Modi added, “The size of the country is its strength. We are a vibrant society.”
Yoga: A Common Ground
The discussion naturally veered towards Yoga—a practice both men passionately endorse. Diljit, who often credits Yoga for his physical and mental well-being, described it as “the biggest magic that our country has.” PM Modi, a longstanding advocate of Yoga, emphasized, “The one who has experienced Yoga, they know its power.”
The meeting concluded on a soulful note as Diljit performed a devotional song, earning visible appreciation from PM Modi.
Overcoming Challenges
Despite his global acclaim, Diljit faced recent hurdles during his concerts. Certain state governments raised objections to lyrics referencing alcohol and drugs, prompting the singer to make adjustments. During his Mumbai concert, Diljit addressed these concerns, highlighting the hypocrisy of targeting his music while Bollywood songs often escape similar scrutiny. He encountered comparable restrictions in Hyderabad and Chandigarh but remained steadfast in his commitment to artistic integrity.
