Singer Diljit Dosanjh has said that he will not sing in India until concert infrastructure is developed properly. Videos went viral on social media of his Chandigarh performance on December 14 wherein Diljit explained the reasoning behind his decision.
As per him at Punjabi, “Here we don’t have infrastructure for live shows. This is a source of big revenue, many people get work and are able to work here.I’ll try next time that the stage is at the centre so that you can be around it. Till this happens, I won’t do shows in India, that’s for sure.”.
