Why Diljit Dosanjh's Bihar concert did not happen

Responding to a fan's wish to see him perform in Bihar, Diljit recalled that an attempt to organise a show in the state had been made last year as well. However, it did not move forward after concerns were raised about managing the expected audience. “We tried to go to Bihar; we had attempted to go to Bihar last time as well. But they said it was difficult to manage the crowd. They asked if we would take responsibility for it. I said that we couldn’t; they would have to take that responsibility. Since they didn’t, we couldn’t go," he said.

The singer further added, “You see, it’s difficult to manage the crowd. It’s not just a small gathering; it’s a massive crowd. I had to consider the logistics; it’s like organising an event in Delhi."

The revelation came shortly after the singer's Delhi show happened. Delhi Police had initially withheld permission for the October 30 concert, citing security concerns.

Speaking about the difficulties he faced in bringing the Delhi show to the stage, he said, “We did the Delhi concert. It was tough. A lot of people tried to stop it, but we still did it. I don't want to say what the problems were. I do shows all over the world. There are always problems. But when the India show starts, problems start, especially for me. I don't know why.”

The singer also addressed the criticism, saying, “I know a lot of people will make fun of me. Many news channels will also make fun of me and create negative energy. But no matter how much negative energy you create, I'm still here, baby. I'm not going anywhere. I've been working here for 25 years. I'll stop only when I want to. I won't stop before that.”
