Diljit Dosanjh wants to make one thing clear, he’s not getting into politics. After seeing a Punjabi headline floating the idea of him as ‘the new political face of Punjab,’ the singer and actor shut the whole thing down with just a few words. He posted the article on X and wrote, “Kadey v Nhi,” which is about as definite as you can get. It means “never ever.” Then he added, “Mera Kam Entertainment Karna Am Very Happy in My Field. Thank You So Much.”

Where Did All This Talk Even Come From?
It started with an open letter from a group called “Jago Punjab Manch.” The letter, which started trending online, called on Punjabis to rise to “conscience, courage, and change,” listing out the state’s problems, government dysfunction, social divides, tensions between communities and ended with a pitch: Diljit Dosanjh as the unlikely leader Punjab could use right now. Suddenly, media outlets jumped on the story, asking if he’d swap the stage for politics.

Right now, Diljit is focused on films, not elections. He was recently spotted on the set of Border 2, a sequel to J.P. Dutta’s 1997 war movie, alongside Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Medha Rana, and Anya Singh. The story revisits the 1971 India Pakistan war.
