Punjabi star Diljit Dosanjh sang the edited lyrics of his chartbusters ‘Lemonade’ and ‘5 Taara’ during the Hyderabad show of his Dil-Luminati India Tour 2024 on Saturday (November 16, 2024), days after receiving a notice from the Telangana government directing him not to sing songs promoting alcohol, drugs or violence at the concert.

Clips of the famous singer-actor from the concert are circulating online where he can be seen singing “Tainu teri coke ch pasand aa Lemonade” instead of “Tainu teri daaru ch pasand aa Lemonade” from the song “Lemonade”.

Similarly, the lyrics of “5 Taara” became “5 taara hotel ch” instead of the original “5 taara theke utte”.

During the show, Diljit spoke to the audience while hinting at the advisory, which also banned the singer from using children on stage.

“If an artist comes from outside the country, he can sing or do whatever he wants, there is no tension. But when your artist returns home to perform, you have a problem, you create problems. But I will tell you one thing. God is with me, I will not let this pass,” he said.

The 40-year-old called out the naysayers by wondering how his concerts were going at full capacity.

“Many people are unable to understand why such big shows are held. How are these tickets sold out in two minutes? Brother, I have been working for a long time now. I didn’t become famous in one day,” he said. he added. .

Diljit also addressed black marketing of tickets to his shows, urging victims to alert authorities within the first hour of the incident by calling 1930, the toll-free helpline number for reporting online cybercrime.

“Some people buy their tickets early so they can resell them. This has become a norm. This still happens today in major international shows. This will be fixed over time, the government is trying to work on it.” Diljit will perform his next show in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
