Diljit Dosanjh’s New Song Breaks The Internet

Punjab’s most popular product after the sarson saag  Diljit Dosanjh is back with a new song . Entitled Jind Mahi it  was released on November 27 and  immediately  became an internetsensation.

Ever-grateful and humbled  for his stardom Diljit says, “I’ve always  said , and I will continue  to say , that I am  singer and musician first.Actor later.Acting toh bas aise hi hogayi(acting  just happened). I  set out to be  a musician and I am glad I succeeded .”

About his new single  Jind Mahi, Diljit makes a startling revelation. “It was actually  planned as  a song for a film.  But that didn’t materialize. And I am grateful for that.We said , let’s  restructure it as  an independent single. Thankfully my fans  don’t expect me  to sing in movies  for my songs to become  successful.”

The music video  of Jind Mahi features Diljit with the pretty and petite Banita Sandhu, the girl who played the  complicated role of a comatose accident victim   in Shoojit Sircar’sOctober.

The chemistry between  Diljit and Banita is a highlight of the video.

Says Diljit, “Banita was a delight to shoot with.So cooperative, professional and hassle-free.God bless her. Banita lives in London. And since we  shot  the music video in London it all worked  out beautifully.”

The  fresh  sound of Jind Mahi can be attributed  to  the  new music team that Diljit worked with,

Says  Diljit, “I don’t have my own  musical team. For each song I  work with a new  group of talented musicians. This  helps me  to grow as an artiste. As you know ,it is a rapidly changing world  out there. One  needs to keep growing,  evolving constantly . Or else you get left behind.”

Diljit  attributes the success  of the new song to his fans. “In Punjab they expect me to sing first, act later. I am happy to oblige.I will be doing concert tours to  promote the song on stage shortly, although  thanks  to the internet it has acquired legs of its own on  its own.”
