New Delhi: As a stop on his Dil-Luminati Tour 2024, Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh played to a sold-out audience at Guwahati's Sarusajai Sports Complex on Sunday. The main event of the night was when the actor-singer paid tribute to Dr. Manmohan Singh, the former prime minister who died on Thursday (December 26) after a prolonged illness. Just days after the nation grieved the passing of this highly esteemed political figure, Diljit devoted the whole show to him.
Diljit paid moving homage to the late leader in an Instagram video, praising him as a simple and graceful man. "Agar main unki life ki journey ki taraf dekhu, toh unhone itna saada jeewan jia hai (If I look at his life, he led a very simple one)", Diljit reflected on the dignified life and career of Manmohan Singh.
The singer added, "Agar unko kisi ne bura bhi bola, toh unhone kabhi ulta jawaab nhi diya. Halanki politics ke career me ye sabse mushkil kaam hai (Even if someone spoke badly to him, he never replied back. However, this is the most difficult thing in a career in politics)."
Also, Diljit emphasised how Manmohan Singh's legacy is deeply ingrained in Indian history as the first Sikh to have his signature printed on money.
With the caption, "Today's Concert is dedicated to Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji DIL-LUMINATI TOUR Year 24," the singer touched the hearts of his followers with his touching homage.
