Diljit Dosanjh responds to rumors about his political entry
09 May 2026

Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has dismissed rumors of a possible political career, saying he is "very happy" entertaining people.

The speculation was fueled by a report by Punjabi Tribune that suggested Dosanjh could be the political icon Punjab needs.

The report also cited Jaago Punjab Manch, a civil society group that had publicly urged Dosanjh to join politics.

Actor's clarification

Dosanjh took to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify, "Kadey v Nhi... Mera Kam Entertainment Karna. Am very happy in my field. Thank you so much."

Jaago Punjab Manch had argued that Dosanjh's appeal among the masses stemmed from the fact that he had never pursued power.

The group said he embodies the kind of leadership a "cash-strapped" and "drug-affected" Punjab needs.

The appeal followed Dosanjh's support for the 2020 farmers' protests against the contentious farm laws, which were eventually repealed.
