In the video, Diljit discussed his well-known phrase, "Punjabi Aa Gaye Oye." He mentioned that he has used this expression on numerous occasions, including during his performance at Coachella in the United States. He then expressed in Punjabi, "Today's show is dedicated to world chess champion Gukesh. Do you know the reason for this dedication? It is because whatever aspirations you hold in life, he has already envisioned himself as a world champion, and he achieved that. Challenges exist, and I encounter them every day."
About Gukesh
Gukesh achieved a historic milestone on Thursday by becoming the youngest champion in the history of the sport. He triumphed over China's Ding Liren in the final match of their FIDE World Championship contest. The day after his impressive victory, Gukesh was awarded the FIDE World Championship trophy.
Diljit talks about Pushpa
Diljit discussed the Pushpa film series featuring Allu Arjun. He mentioned that he had seen the first instalment, Pushpa: The Rise, but had not yet viewed the sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule. Diljit expressed his admiration for the film and highlighted Arjun's iconic line, "jhukega nahi" (won't bow).
He further remarked, "Saala nahi jhukega toh kya jija jhuk jayega?" which translates to, "If he won't bow, will the brother-in-law bow?" In this context, Diljit was referring to himself. The video concluded with Diljit assuring the audience that the concert in Chandigarh would be the most memorable night of their lives.
