Diljit Dosanjh finally introduced his family to the world. The singer, who is currently on tour, brought his mother and sister to his recent concert in Manchester. The singer has been protective of his family for years now. While he has spoken about them earlier this year, he had kept their identity under the wraps. However, it seems like he is ready for the world to know about them.
In a video has surfaced online, an emotional Diljit sang the lines, “Dil tenu de ditta main taan soneya, Jaan tere kadma ch rakhi hoyi ae,” from the song Hass Hass, and introduced his mother, Sukhwinder Kaur. She was visibly in tears as Diljit hugged her and planted a kiss on her head. “Marna main teriyan bahan ch chann ve, Sohn tere pyaar di main chakki hoyi ae,” he added, as he introduced his sister. “Aaj meri family bhi aayi hai (Today, my family has also come),” he declared. Watch the moving video below:
Earlier this year, Diljit revealed his bond with his family broke after his parents decided to send him off to his uncle’s home. Speaking with Ranveer Allahabadia on his podcast, Diljit said, “I was eleven years old when I left my home and started living with my mamaji (maternal uncle). I came to the city leaving my village behind. I shifted to Ludhiana. He said ‘send him to the city with me’ and my parents said ‘yes, take him.’ My parents did not even ask me.”
He added, “I used to stay alone in a small room. I used to just go to school and come back, there wasn’t any TV. I had a lot of time. Also, we didn’t have mobile phones back then, even if I had to call home or receive a call from my parents, it cost us money. So I started becoming distant from my family.”
“I respect my mother a lot. My father is a very sweet person. He did not ask me anything. He did not even ask which school I studied. But my connection with them broke. Not just with them, with everyone,” Diljit added.
Diljit had also previously revealed that he chose to keep his family away from the limelight due to an incident that took place the initial years of his career. The actor was subjected to criticism and protest after one of his songs did not go down well with the audience. In order to protect his family, the Amar Singh Chamkila star chose to keep them away from the limelight.
