Diljit Dosanjh in trouble for touching Amitabh Bachchan's feet on Kaun Banega Crorepati, US-based Khalistani terrorist group calls for his show's shutdown

Diljit Dosanjh, actor and singer who is now a global star, has landed in trouble for touching Amitabh Bachchan’s feet on the recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati. US-based Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun’s Sikh For Justice (SFJ) has now demanded a showdown of his show that’s happening in Australia on November 1.

Why the controversy with Diljit Dosanjh?

The statement by SFJ read that Dosanjh insulted every victim, every widow, and every orphan of “1984 Sikh Genocide” by touching the feet of Amitabh Bachchan.

“By touching feet of Bachchan the man whose words orchestrated Genocide, Diljit Dosanjh has insulted every victim, every widow, and every orphan of 1984 Sikh Genocide,” Pannun said.

The allegations against Bachchan are that the veteran actor “publicly incited Hindustani mobs with the genocidal slogan ‘Khoon Ka Badla Khoon’ - ‘Blood for Blood’ - a call that unleashed death squads that committed genocidal violence in which more than 30,000 Sikh men, women, and children were killed across India.”

Diljit Dosanjh is someone whose popularity has transcended borders and boundaries. His voice travels all over the world and he is genuinely now a global star. The actor and singer recently made history by becoming the first Indian artist to sell out a stadium show in Sydney.

Months after selling out stadiums across the globe on his music tour, Punjabi singer-star Diljit Dosanjh walked the Met Gala 2025 blue carpet in his debut dressed in a regal white ensemble in an apparent homage to the Maharaja of Patiala.

The outfit was designed by American-Nepalese designer Prabal Gurung, who previously dressed Bollywood star Alia Bhatt for the fashion charity event held annually in New York at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Representing his Sikh roots, Diljit wore an ivory and gold sherwani, along with a tehmat, bejewelled turban adorned with a white ‘kalgi’ and a lion-headed, jewel-studded kirpan. He also flaunted a cape with the silhouetted map of Punjab and letters in the Punjabi script Gurmukhi embroidered on it.
