Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Indian people are very friendly towards the environment and asked Diljit Dosanjh to spread awareness about it through his shows.
India has the potential to host music festivals even bigger than famous global events like Coachella, Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh said during his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on New Year’s Day. The globally popular singer met the Prime Minister at his residence on Wednesday where they discussed music, culture and India’s artistic heritage.
During the meeting, Prime Minister Modi asked Dosanjh about his experience of travelling outside India and performing at various global festivals like the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2023. “I think they have made festivals like Coachella or any other very big. And I believe we can make it even bigger. People travel from across the world for such festivals,” the 40-year-old singer said. Dosanjh said music is ingrained in the cultural fabric of India and added that even people who are not professionally trained can often display impeccable talent.
“Whether we are eating at a dhaba or someone is singing in Rajasthani, the song we hear is so melodious that I feel I should stop singing. He is singing such a good song. And I sing professionally, this person is not even singing professionally. And he is singing better than me. He has so much talent in him.
“If such development happens here, people from across the world will come,” Diljit said.
