Highlights from the Show

During the episode, Diljit spoke about his journey and reflected on one of the biggest highlights of his recent tour, a concert in Vancouver, Canada, where he performed in front of nearly 55,000 people, many of them from the Indian community. He also performed his energetic track Morni on the show, adding another memorable performance to his growing list of international appearances.

A Look Back at His Debut

This wasn't Diljit's first time on Fallon's stage. In 2024, he made his debut on the show with crowd-favourite tracks G.O.A.T. and Born to Shine. Introduced then as the "biggest Punjabi artist on the planet," he impressed viewers with his signature stage presence and a vibrant Bhangra performance in a traditional white dhoti-kurta and turban.

On the Work Front

Meanwhile, Dosanjh was last seen in Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Nidhi Dutta, JP Dutta and Krishan Kumar, alongside Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty, with Mona Singh, Anya Singh, Medha Rana and Sonam Bajwa in supporting roles.

He will next appear in Imtiaz Ali's 'Main Vaapas Aaunga', set against the backdrop of the 1947 Partition. The film, which also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Sharvari Wagh and Vedang Raina, is scheduled for a theatrical release on June 12. This marks Diljit's second collaboration with Imtiaz Ali after the 2024 film 'Amar Singh Chamkila.'
