Diljit Dosanjh gifts shoes to Pakistani fan, says 'borders are made by politicians'

Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh showed a heartfelt gesture by gifting shoes to his Pakistani fan during his Manchester concert.

The 40-year-old singer presented a box with the shoes to one of his fans and on learning that she was from Pakistan, he spoke about how borders between the two countries are “made by politicians”.

“Be it India or Pakistan, it is one for me. There is immense love for all in the hearts of every Punjabi. These borders are made by politicians, but people who know Punjabi, whether from here or there, we are all the same. So people who have come from my country India, and those who have come from Pakistan, I welcome you all. Thank you ma’am,” Dosanjh said in the video.

Diljit Dosanjh has scripted history by selling out the “largest ever Punjabi show outside India” on the North American leg of his ‘Dil-Luminati Tour’.

Kicking off his tour on Saturday night, Dosanjh regaled over 50,000 concert goers at the BC Place stadium in Vancouver, Canada, with songs such as “GOAT”, “5 Taara”, “Lover”, “Kinni Kinni”, and “Ishq Mitaye”, the popular track from his latest film release “Amar Singh Chamkila”.
