Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh will soon become the first Indian artiste to get featured on the cover of Billboard Canada, the US-based entertainment magazine announced recently.
“Diljit Dosanjh will make global history as the first Indian artist to be featured cover-to-cover in a special edition of Billboard (@billboardca). It marks a monumental moment for the iconic publication,” Billboard Canada wrote alongside four covers of the new special edition.
Billboard Canada also mentioned that the exclusive edition in four different covers will contain photos, an in-depth interview and behind-the-scenes stories from the Dil-Luminati tour. Limited signed copies will be available for purchase. The magazine was launched at Diljit’s recent concert in London.
Soon after the post, fans flooded the comments section with their love and support. “Diljit giving us the representation we deserve,” one of them wrote. “Making global history—showing everyone how Punjabis do it,” another fan commented. Canadian YouTuber and television host Lilly Singh also took to the comments section and wrote, “HANJIIIIII” with clapping emojis.
Diljit’s Dil-Luminati Tour kicked off on April 27 in Vancouver. The singer has performed in Vancouver, Illinois, Chicago, California and other cities in North America. He is all set to kick off the India leg of his Dil-Luminati tour on October 26 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi.
The Punjabi singer, who starred in Imtiaz Ali’s Netflix movie Amar Singh Chamkila alongside Parineeti Chopra this year, will perform in Kolkata on November 30 from 7 pm to 10 pm. However, the venue for the concert has not yet been announced.
On the acting front, Diljit will be next seen in Border 2, which also features Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan. He recently sang the title track of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 with Pitbull.
