Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh says there was a time when all he ever wanted to do was make music, and nothing else. “I was always told that without a godfather in the industry it would be difficult for me to make a mark, but I always believed that if I made constant efforts, I would be successful. It would definitely take time but I would be rewarded for my hard work,” Diljit said while looking back at his journey. “During my childhood, I only watched movies starring Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra at home. I loved fight scenes. The only movies apart from these two stars that I watched were of Rajinder Kumar. I’ve always had a strong connection to hill stations and that’s the reason I chose movies by Rajinder Kumar,” he recalled. “There was a point in my life when I didn’t do anything except practise music. Working in a factory was my backup option,” added Diljit. The actor asserted that it took a while for him to understand the business aspect of showbiz. “Even after the release of my first album I didn’t know how I would make money. It was only when this one guy came up to me and asked me to do a show in return of about Rs 2,500 I understood the process,” said Diljit in an episode of Audible Suno’s show ‘Kissa Khwaabon Ka’.
