Diljit addressed the notice served by the Telangana government and said, "When foreign artists come to India, they are allowed to do whatever they like, sing whatever they want, there’s no issue... But when an artist from your own country is singing, people have a lot of problems. Some people cannot digest the fact that such big shows are happening, and tickets are getting sold out within two minutes...I've been working for many years now. I did not become famous overnight.”

Diljit Dosanjh served notice by Telangana government

The notice was issued after a complaint by a Chandigarh-based Professor, Panditrao Dharenavar, against Diljit Dosanjh to prevent him from singing such songs promoting alcohol, drugs, and violence during the live show. The complainant submitted video evidence as well. The singer was also directed not to bring children on stage. The manager and organisers of the event have also been directed to ensure that the peak sound pressure level does not exceed the permissible limit.

Diljit commenced the India leg of his much-talked-about Dil-Luminati Tour 2024 in New Delhi in October. The Dil-Luminati Tour will continue to entertain fans across India, with upcoming shows scheduled in cities including Ahmedabad, and Pune.
