New Delhi

Diljit Dosanjh took over Delhi in the weekend, and despite traffic snarls around the concert venue, no one was complaining. Diljit kick-started the India leg of his Dil-Luminati Tour at Delhi's Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium on Saturday and followed it up with another show on Sunday. 

On Monday, he took to Instagram to share a clip from the event as he spoke to the audience.

Diljit talks about his mother, different languages

In the video, Diljit said in Punjabi, "When I was born my mother spoke in Punjabi. I learnt Punjabi first. Our country has different languages and I respect them a lot, be it Gujarati, or Marathi. Some speak Kannada, Telugu, and Hindi, and I respect them very much. But because my mother speaks Punjabi, so I too speak Punjabi. So I say Punjabi Aa Gaye Delhi Oye (his hook line through out this concert)." He then started singing Main Hoon Punjab from his latest film, Amar Singh Chamkila, as the crowd joined him.

The singer was seen wearing a black outfit with the National Flag wrapped around his shoulder. Sharing the clip, he wrote, "Delhi Day 2 (heart hands emoji) ONE LOVE (folded hands emoji) DIL-LUMINATI TOUR Year 24 (lotus emoji)."

The highly anticipated show started with the singer appearing on stage dressed in a white traditional ensemble, turban and Aviator shades. He began his act with the chart-topping number Born To Shine. 

Diljit's message for fans

"I want you all to dream big. Please dream as big as possible. We were born to fulfill our dreams. Dream big guys. If I can do it, you can too. I haven't studied much, but if I can make people speak in Punjabi then you can do anything," Diljit said to the packed stadium.

Diljit has been on his Dil-Luminati Tour around the world and has performed in countries like the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands.

After Delhi, the singer will travel to nine other cities across India, including Jaipur, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Pune, and Kolkata. The grand finale of his India tour will be held in Guwahati on December 29.
