Earlier, during the meeting, PM Modi praised Diljit for his achievements, saying, "When a boy from a small village in 'Hindustan' shines on the global stage, it feels amazing. Your family named you Diljit, and you keep on winning people's hearts, just as your name suggests."
Diljit responded, "We used to read that 'Mera Bharat Mahan' (My India is great), but when I travelled across India, I realised why people say this."
PM Modi highlighted India's diversity, saying, "India's vastness is its strength. We are a vibrant society."
Diljit added, "The greatest magic in India is yoga." PM Modi agreed, saying, "Those who have experienced yoga know its power."
The singer-actor also admired PM Modi's personal journey, saying, "I had watched your interview, sir.
The position of Prime Minister is great, but behind it, there is a mother, a son, and a human being. Many times, this half-truth is much larger when you carry your mother and the sacred Ganga with you. That touches the heart."
Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh recently concluded his Dil-Luminati tour in India with a grand performance in Ludhiana. Throughout his concerts at various venues, the singer aimed to address important social issues during his performances.
