Diljit Dosanjh has come to the defense of a fan who was ridiculed on social media for crying during his concert. The singer shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, reassuring his fans that emotions, including tears, are a natural and beautiful part of experiencing music.
This comes after a girl attending Diljit’s Jaipur concert was heavily criticized by some social media users for being visibly emotional during the show. In response, Diljit posted several clips from his concerts showing women in tears while listening to his music, with his voice offering reassurance. “It’s okay, it’s okay to cry. Music is an emotion,” he said in the video, emphasizing that only those with deep emotions can cry, and that it is perfectly normal.
Diljit continued in Punjabi, “There is smile, dance, bhangra, gidda, and even crying in it. I myself have cried several times after listening to music. Only people who have emotions can cry. I got you, don’t worry about that. No one should stop a girl. They are independent. Women earn, too, and they can enjoy themselves.”
The video, which shows women crying while enjoying Diljit’s performance, also includes a powerful moment where Diljit is seen addressing the audience, saying, “Inna da apmaan karrahe ho, tussi desh di beti da apmaan kar rahe ho, main tenu das diya gal,” which translates to, “You are insulting her, you are insulting the daughter of the country, I’m telling you.” In a show of support, Diljit bows to one fan on stage and hugs another, making his message of respect and empathy clear.
The singer also posted a message from a fan who shared her thoughts about crying at the concert. “I cried like anything, and I didn’t hesitate to cry. I saw that people were trolling a girl who was crying, but I think it came out natural. So I think it’s completely natural to cry. Please, guys, I was so overwhelmed that I cried.”
In the caption accompanying the video, Diljit emphasized the importance of self-worth: “A woman who knows her worth doesn’t need validation—she shines bright enough to light her own way. DIL-LUMINATI TOUR Year 24.”
Fans responded warmly to Diljit’s stance, with many praising him for his support. One fan commented, “Artist taking a stand for his fan. What a man!” Another wrote, “At last, you took a stand for her—something an entire generation had been waiting for. It takes a true gentleman to honor and respect a woman the way you do.”
Several fans expressed admiration for Diljit’s compassion and his ability to speak out against the trolling of women. One user said, “Just the fact that he acknowledged that girl crying and addressed it speaks so much about him being an actual human being before anything else.”
The controversy began after Diljit’s team posted an Instagram video from the Jaipur concert, in which a fan could be seen singing along to Diljit’s music while visibly crying. This moment led to a wave of online trolls targeting the girl, prompting Diljit to speak out.
Diljit’s India leg of the Dil-Luminati Tour 2024 began in October in New Delhi, and after the successful Jaipur concert, he will be performing in cities like Ahmedabad, Lucknow, and others, with the grand finale taking place in Guwahati on December 29. The Dil-Luminati Tour has become one of the most anticipated events of the year, with fans eagerly attending Diljit’s live shows to experience his music and energy firsthand.
