Dosanjh sang his song Dhiaan Dhar Mehsoos Kar for PM Modi saying that he regards the position of the prime minister as so big that he understands how sometimes the role of the person as family member becomes precarious.
In June 2023, during a luncheon hosted for Prime Minister Modi in the United States, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned Diljit Dosanjh in his speech, highlighting the cultural connections between India and the United States. Blinken stated, “We dance to the beats of Diljit at Coachella,” referencing Dosanjh’s performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival earlier that year.
Diljit Dosanjh’s influence extends beyond entertainment; he has been an active voice in social and political matters. During the farmers’ protests in India, he expressed solidarity with the farmers, participating in protests and using his platform to raise awareness about their concerns. His stance during this period garnered both support and criticism, highlighting his commitment to issues affecting his community.
