Indian singer Diljit Dosanjh’s performance on his ongoing Dil-Luminati tour took an unexpected turn when he slipped on stage during his hit track “Patiala Peg.”
The incident, which occurred mid-performance at the live concert in Ahmedabad, was caught on video and quickly went viral on social media.
Despite the mishap, Dosanjh regained his balance and continued his energetic performance. Pausing the music to address the issue, the singer explained that the pyrotechnics used during the show had caused fuel to spill onto the stage, resulting in the slip.
“Bhai yahan pe fire jo chhodte ho, mat chhodo. Tel aata hai yahan. I am okay,” Dosanjh told the audience, urging the organizers to halt the use of such effects to prevent further accidents.
This slip brought back memories of a similar incident in the early 2010s when Dosanjh fell during a joint performance with Yo Yo Honey Singh on “Lakk 28.” However, the singer’s resilience shone through as he resumed the concert with the same high energy, keeping the crowd engaged.
In addition to addressing the accident, Dosanjh also took the opportunity to discuss a legal matter that had recently surfaced. He revealed that he had received a legal notice before his Hyderabad concert, instructing him to remove references to alcohol and drugs from his songs.
While no such notice had been issued for his Ahmedabad performance, Dosanjh took it in stride and altered the lyrics of “Patiala Peg” to avoid any controversy.
In his remarks, Dosanjh highlighted his versatility as an artist. “I have sung dozens of devotional songs. In the last 10 days, I released two devotional tracks, but no one talks about them—only ‘Patiala Peg’ makes headlines,” he noted, emphasizing the importance of recognizing his broader musical contributions.
Addressing the alcohol-related controversy, Dosanjh proposed a challenge to the authorities: “If all states completely ban liquor, I will never sing about alcohol again. At the very least, declare a dry day on my concert dates, and I will refrain from performing any alcohol-related songs.”
