Diljit Dosanjh
Ahead of his Hyderabad concert on Saturday, singer Diljit Dosanjh received a legal notice from Telangana government instructing him to not sing songs promoting drugs, violence and alcohol. While the singer abided by the notice by tweaking words in his song, he also gave a befitting response to the notice. After talking about it at the Hyderabad concert, he also took a dig at the notice during his Ahemadabad concert on Sunday. Before beginning the show on Sunday, he addressed the audience about singing songs mentioning alcohol. He said that he has hardly a few songs mentioning alcohol and is willig to stop singing them if all states announce themselves as dry state. He also said that Bollywood has thousands of alcohol songs and said that while Bollywood stars promote alcohol, he has never done that.
Diljit shared a video of his speech to the Ahmedabad crowd on his Instagram handle. He is heard speaking in Hindi, "Ek khush khabri hai. Aaj mujhe koi notice nahi aaya. Aaj bhi mai koi gaana sharab par nahi gaa unga. Accha poocho ky nahi gaunga, kyunki Gujarat dry state hai. (There is a good news. I did not receive any notice today. Even today, I will not sing any song on alcohol. Ask me why? Because Gujarat is a dry state.)
