I have been in this industry for 22 years and I have worked day and night to reach here. I have had to pay a heavy price for this, I could not even give time to my family. My years of hard work is now giving me success. But I have some more plans. You will get to know about it soon.'
Diljit used to sing kirtan in the gurudwara
Diljit, who was born in Dosanjh Kalan in Jalandhar, could not study much. He studied till 10th standard while living in Ludhiana. Due to the poor financial condition of the family, he could not study further. He turned to singing after listening to Kirtan in the Gurudwara.
He took training in classical music at the local Gurudwara in Ludhiana and started singing kirtan. Everyone liked Diljit's voice while singing kirtan, so people encouraged him to sing outside. After this, Diljit came out of the Gurudwara and started singing at weddings and ceremonies. In this way, he reached the Punjabi music industry.
Entry in Bollywood with 'Udta Punjab'
In 2004, Diljit released his first album 'Ishq Da Uda Adda'. In 2011, he debuted with the film 'The Lion of Punjab'. The film flopped but one of his songs was a superhit. For the first time, a non-Bollywood singer's song reached the top in BBC's Asian Download Chat. In 2016, he entered Bollywood with the film 'Udta Punjab'.
After this, he acted in Phillauri, Soorma, Arjun Patiala, Good News and Sooraj Pe Mangal Bhaari. During the lockdown, he released his music album 'G.O.A.T' which was a huge hit.
Even after this, many of his songs proved to be hits. This year he was seen in the film 'Amar Singh Chamkila' in which his work was highly praised. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, this film featured Parineeti Chopra opposite Diljit.
