Diljit Dosanjh's first costar says he is a 'changed person' after becoming famous: 'His experience over the years has made him an...'

The multi-talented personality of the Indian entertainment industry, Diljit Dosanjh has taken India’s name to the global map with the grand Dil Luminati Tour followed by his on The Tonight Show. Apart from stage shows and singing skills, Diljit won the hearts of millions with his performances in films like Chamkila, Soorma, Udta Punjab, Jatt & Juliet and Good Newwz among others.

His first costar Jividha Sharma, who shared screen space with him in his 2011 debut film The Lion of Punjab, shared she always knew he wanted to become famous.

“I remember working with him. He is a changed person now. His experience over the years has made him an intellect. All that he has achieved today with his hard work is commendable. And the best thing about him is that God too blessed him," said Jividha while talking to The Lallantop.

“Although it was Diljit’s first film, he was already a star due to his singing career. People recognised him and loved his songs. That’s how he bagged the film because in Punjab, there is a culture of bringing singers as lead stars. He is very hardworking. He shot with us for the film in the morning and would rush at night to do his stage shows. These stage shows used to be in different cities, sometimes would go until early morning, yet he would always look fresh and be on time for the shoot," she said.

“I used to ask him, how are you doing this? This was not humanly possible. And I guess because of all that hard work, he is where he is today. Recalling an anecdote, she said, “Once we were travelling somewhere in Mumbai, towards Andheri West, I guess. There, we saw this huge hoarding board of a film or so. Looking at it, very innocently yet confidently, Diljit said, ‘One day, I will be there on the hoarding.’ And years later, he was there," she added.
