Coca-Cola Responds After Diljit Dosanjh Replaces Alcohol Lyrics With ‘Coke’ During His Concert

Diljit Dosanjh, a global sensation, continues to win hearts with his unparalleled charm and electrifying performances. His ongoing Dil-Luminati tour, spanning major cities across India, has further cemented his massive fan base.

During his Hyderabad concert, Diljit surprised the audience by tweaking the lyrics of his hit song Lemonade to comply with regulations, replacing the word “alcohol” with “Coke.” The creative twist not only shocked the fans but also prompted the brand, Coca-Cola to respond.

Diljit modified lyrics for his Hyderabad concert to comply with Government regulations

Diljit Dosanjh recently found himself in the headlines ahead of his much-anticipated concert in Hyderabad, part of his Dil-Luminati tour. The Telangana government issued a directive asking the singer to ensure that his performance did not include songs promoting violence, drugs, or alcohol, which is a recurring theme in some Punjabi music.

This led to a buzz, as Diljit’s chart-topping hits often include playful references to these elements. However, the singer’s action to the government’s request showcased his respect for local norms.

During the concert, Dosanjh modified the lyrics of his iconic songs to comply with the regulations while still entertaining his fans. In his popular track Lemonade, he replaced the original “daaru’ch lemonade” with “Coke’ch lemonade”.

Similarly, in Pehle Lalkare, the lyric “bottlaan de datt patten” was turned into “Coke de datt pattne,” leaving the audience astounded. Even the line “5 tara theke” from another hit was substituted with “5 tara hotel”.

Undoubtedly the fans applauded this dutiful gesture of Diljit Dosanjh. Amidst all this, Coca-Cola India joined in.

Coca-Cola India gives a jolly reaction to the Coca-Cola reference

Coca-Cola India couldn’t resist joining the moment when Diljit Dosanjh creatively swapped the word “alcohol” with “Coke” in his songs during his Hyderabad concert. The witty lyrical change not only delighted fans but also caught the attention of the beverage giant, which responded with a jolly reaction on social media.

A video of Diljit’s innovative performance quickly went viral, prompting Coca-Cola India’s official Instagram account to chime in with a playful comment,

“Chautha kaam twade gaane japne! (The fourth task is worshipping your songs!)”
