“Pakistan and India are same for me:” Diljit Dosanjh’s heartfelt gesture for Muslim fan goes viral

Indian Punjabi music star Diljit Dosanjh’s heartwarming gesture towards a Pakistani fan during his Manchester concert went viral as he called for love and unity between the neighbouring countries through shared cultural ties.

During the concert, Diljit invited a female fan on stage and gifted her a pair of autographed shoes, only to learn that she was from Pakistan.

"Pakistan and India are same for me," the massive crowd erupted in cheers as the iconic singer expressed these profound sentiments.

Emphasising the deep-rooted cultural connection between the two nations, he highlighted Punjab as the bridge linking them.

"There is only love in the hearts of Punjabis. These borders between countries are created by politicians," the G.O.A.T vocalist stated.

Diljit further said that those who speak Punjabi, whether in India or across the border, are "the same for us."

“Those who have come from India and Pakistan are warmly welcomed,” he added.
