Netflix's 'Amar Singh Chamkila' actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh makes SHOCKING announcement, says 'I will not perform shows in India anymore until...'

Diljit Dosanjh is an actor and singer par excellence but now, he has made a shocking announcement of not performing live on stage in India. I want to tell the designated authorities that India does not have the infrastructure for live shows. This is a big revenue generating space. It also gives livelihood to many. Please focus on this space as well," Diljit told the crowd.

“I will try to set up a stage in the middle while the crowd is distributed around it (to improve concert experience). I will not perform shows here until things improve here. Instead of troubling us, improve the infrastructure," he added.

Dosanjh dedicated his “Dil-Luminati” concert in Chandigarh on Saturday for India’s D Gukesh,  who clinched the 2024 World Chess Championship title by beating Cina’s Ding Liren on Thursday.

“I dedicate the show to Gukesh because he (Gukesh) had thought of becoming a world champion and he became," said Diljit. Gukesh became only the second Indian Grandmaster, after the legendary Viswanathan Anand, to win the World Chess Championship title. Gukesh, 18, also became the youngest-ever world chess champion.

He broke Garry Kasparov’s record after the Russian had won the title when he was 22 year old in 1985. Gukesh defeated Liren by a 7.5-6.5 scoreline.

Gukesh had begun the World Championship campaign against Ding Liren with a loss, but fought back in the second and third games with a draw and a win respectively. The two then played out seven consecutive draws before Gukesh took a 6-5 lead after Game 11. Ding then made it 6-6 in Game 12 before the two played out another draw in Game 13 to level the scores 6.5-6.5. In Game 14, a costly mistake from Liren  paved the way for Gukesh’s victory.
