Diljit Dosanjh raises concerns

Recently, Diljit performed in Calgary, Canada, on April 30 as part of his Aura World Tour 2026. Days after the concert, a video from the event has surfaced on social media, and it’s grabbing attention for Diljit’s chilling remark about death.

During the concert, Diljit is heard telling the audience in Punjabi, “I have already left this world. I don’t have any fear of death. Last December, I was trying to get out of this body. But now I still have to do a few more things before I leave this body. There is nothing to be afraid of. Punjab has always been spoken about, and it will continue to be spoken about even without me. I have already left this world; this is the truth. I am standing on this stage, and this is my God.”

The clip, first shared on Instagram and later making its way to Reddit, quickly sparked intense reactions online. Some fans wondered if he had been dealing with trolling, and others wondered the reason behind making such a statement.

One comment read, “Unfortunate how people troll this. Avicii, Chetser Bennington, Amy Winehouse, SSR - so many were lost when they were at the peak of their career. As someone who has battled severe depression while doing exceptionally well in my career, I can attest how hard it feels to get out of bed. I really hope Indians start taking mental health seriously instead of trolling and making it worse.”

“I had nooo idea that he was getting hate nonstop? I thought he was super liked. Why??,” one wrote, with another sharing, “You never know what struggles someone is going through. Just because someone has money doesn’t mean their life is perfect. This guy has been getting hate nonstop for while now.”

“Unfortunate how people troll this… I really hope Indians start taking mental health seriously instead of trolling and making it worse,” one comment read.

One social media user commented, “We don't know what happened but hope he's coping mentally and has enough supports in place.” Another social media user wrote, “Fame takes a toll on mental health .”
