'Gaon Ka Bandha': When Diljit Dosanjh Revealed He Wanted The World To Know Him, 'Mere Dimag Mei..'

Diljit Dosanjh has made India proud by debuting at the MET Gala 2025 on May 5, 2025. The Punjabi singer walked like a king on the blue carpet at the high-end fashion event that took place in New York. He paid homage to his cultural roots in Prabal Gurung attire. Diljit merged his Punjabi cultural heritage with the theme of Black Dandyism at the MET Gala 2025 and paid tribute to the Maharaja of Patiala. This is the life the singer dreamt of. However, do you know there was a time nine years ago in 2016, when the singer shared manifesting this kind of life?

When Diljit Dosanjh shared he wanted the world to know him, while he knew none

Diljit's team had already revealed earlier that the singer wanted to personally wear the jewellery of the Maharaja of Patiala, but he was not allowed to do so. The singer, who comes from a middle-class family, now has a global fan base and is living a life he dreamed of. Once, in an interview with the Filmy Companion, Diljit was asked why people loved him, and he revealed that since his childhood, he had a dream that the world would know him and he would know no one. In his words:

"Main sochta tha jab chota tha bada silly si cheez thi joh mei sochta tha ki aisa din aaye ki mein kisi ko na jaanta hu aur mere ko sab jaante hai. Yeh aisa silly sa mere dimag mei chalti rehti thi baat. Vanity enjoy karta hu. Yeh kabhi life mei honi nahi thi. Kaam vanitiyo mei baithne vale bande thodi hai. Toh ek ek cheez mei enjoy karta hoon. Vanity, light, spot milta hai aapko hai na? Yeh sab cheezein kabhi life mei? Mein gaon ka bandha kaha dekhni thi yeh sab cheezein? "

When Diljit Dosanjh shared his career plans after 60

Diljit, going ahead in the interview, also shared his future goals related to the kind of work he wanted to do and the pinnacle of success he wanted. The singer revealed that after 60, he wants to take Amrit. For the unversed, this is the Sikh initiation ceremony where the Sikh people are baptised into the Khalsa community. Diljit also shared his plans of doing Hollywood movies and then wanted to rest in peace. In his words:

"Joh last maine socha hai woh yeh hai ki 60s mei jaake na mei Amrit chakhunga. Mein proper Sikh nahin hoon, phir mei Hollywood movies mei kaam karunga aur meri daadhi hogi badi saari, kirpan hogi aur sab dekhenge ki yaar. Sardarji joh aate hai Hollywood movies mei tab tak mei English bhi sikh lunga. Yeh meri Tamannah hai last. Uske baad utha le bhagwan. Lekin ye last karde please."

Diljit Dosanjh shelled out Maharaja vibes at the MET Gala 2025

Diljit made the internet go into a frenzy when he walked the blue carpet in a customised Prabal Gurung ensemble. Speaking of his outfit, he wore a turban, which is the main identity of a Sikh, along with a kurta and a tehmat. For the unversed, a tehmat is a long tunic-type attire that has draped bottoms. His cape also had the Gurmukhi script written, and he rounded his outfit with a sword. Speaking of his look at the MET Gala 2025, Diljit in an interview with the New York Times said:

"It’s what I’ve been doing all this time. It’s about carrying your identity with pride, right?”
