Recently, during his concert in Indore, Diljit opened up about being criticized over his tickets being sold in black
Diljit recently performed in Indore and as usual, he interacted with the audience. The singer even took to Instagram and shared a video of him clarifying the accusation. He mentioned that this is the era for independent music and independent artists. Diljit also took the names of Karan Aujla and AP Dhillon.
In the clip, Diljit said,
“Bohut der se humare desh mein mere khilaaf chal raha hai ki, ‘Diljit ki ticket black horahi hai’. Toh mera kasoor thodei hai ticket black horahi hai? Right? Agar aap ₹10 ki ticket lelo aur usko ₹100 ki bech do toh kalakaar ki kya kasoor hai (For some time now this has been going on against me in our country, ‘Diljit’s tickets are being sold in black’. How is it my fault that it is happening? If you are buying tickets for ₹10 and selling for ₹100, then how is it the artist’s fault)?”
He further spoke a few lines of a poem from the late poet Rahat Indori as he was in the lyricist’s city. Dedicating the concert to Rahat ji Diljit recited,
“Not in my presence, keep him somewhere else, you have brought him from the sky, keep him on the ground, now where will you go to find our murderer, you just put the blame of the murder on us.”

He also added that he is not afraid of ‘badnaami’, rather he is not afraid of anything. He remarked,
“Jitne ilzam lagane hai lagalo mujhpe. Na toh mere ko koi badnami ka bhay hai. Koi tension nahi hai mujhe (Keep levelling allegations against me however much you want. I don’t fear defamation. There is no tension). Did all these start now? From the time there was cinema in India, it was there– ₹10 tickets in ₹20. Earlier in films, singers used to sing in the background and actors used to lip sync. Now singers have come to the front. That’s the only difference. Only that has changed.”
Diljit gave a shoutout to Karan Aujla and AP Dhillon
Further in the video, Diljit Dosanjh gave a shoutout to Karan Aujla and AP Dhillon as they are all set for their respective tours. He referred to them as brothers and wished them good luck while calling this period the era of independent artists. He further remarked the era of independent artists had now begun.

Talking about fellow artists, Karan Aujla and AP Dhillon, he said,
“Mere aur do bhaiyon ne tour shuru kiya hai Karan Aujla aur AP Dhillon nein, unke liye bhi best of luck. Yeh independent music ka time shuru hai. Musibate toh ayengi. Jab koi revolution aata hai toh musibat aati hai. Hum apna kam karte jayenge (Two of my brothers, Karan Aujla and AP Dhillo, have started their tour; best of luck to them, too. The time for independent music has started. Problems will arise. When there is a revolution, problems will arise. We will keep working).”
Diljit posted a video talking about independent artists with the caption, “Jai Shri Mahakal (folded hands emoji).”
“Jitne bhi independent artists hai, zor aur mehnat double kardo, Bharatiya sangeet ka samay agaya hai. Pehle bahar ke kalakaar aate the unki ticket black hoti thi laakhon mein, ab Bharatiya kalakaar ki ticket black horahi hai. Isi ko toh kehte hai vocal for local (All the independent artists, double your effort and hard work. The time of Indian music has come. Earlier, tickets for foreign artists were sold in black; now, it is happening for Indian artists. This is called vocal for local).”
