BTS fun with Diljit and Fallon
One of the videos captures the amusing moment when Dosanjh tries to teach Fallon the Punjabi language. The musician starts by making Fallon say his iconic catchphrase, "Punjabi Aa Gaye Oye."
Dosanjh then introduces the host to the Punjabi greeting "Sat Sri Akal," which Fallon manages to say gracefully. The caption accompanying the video reads, "Sat Sri Akal! @diljitdosanjh," further adding to the excitement surrounding the upcoming show. Priyanka Chopra, the only other Indian to appear on the show, commented on the video, writing, "It's the Oye for me."
Another video shared by the official Instagram handle of the show showcases a stylish glove swap between Dosanjh and Fallon. Dosanjh who typically wears black gloves during performances was surprised by Fallon bringing him a custom white glove featuring the show's logo, leading to an exchange with Dosanjh's black glove.
The caption of the video reads, “Backstage glove swap with @diljitdosanjh! #DiljitOnFallon #FallonTonight.” On Monday, Dosanjh offered fans a glimpse into the studio of 'The Tonight Show' by sharing a series of photos with the caption, "The Tonight Show @fallontonight @jimmyfallon @nbc Sound Check Done."
Diljit is currently on the Dil-luminati Tour. He will be seen next in Jatt and Juliet.
