The ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ actor was set to perform in Kolkata as part of his ‘Dil-Luminati’ tour which was made memorable not just by the fans but by a speech given by the actor and singer Dijit. On his Instagram account, he posted an adorable video sharing a glimpse with his fans showcasing the fun-filled moments on stage. Speaking to the audience, Diljit shared a motivational message inspired by Kolkata’s love for cricket and the famous ‘tagline’ of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team, ‘Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo Re.’ He said, ‘This is a very good slogan. This slogan is from the Kolkata Knight Riders, right? It’s such a lovely slogan, and especially since it’s Shahrukh Khan Sir’s team, it’s bound to be great. I am a huge fan of him. This slogan also carries a wonderful message–work hard and fight alongside your team. And no matter where you are, it’s our duty to give 100 percent. So, if you give 199 percent effort, victory will have no other option but to come to you.’

The singer and actor also took a moment to talk about Kolkata’s rich history and culture. The city, known as the ‘City of Joy,’ is home to some of the most legendary figures, and Diljit shared how proud the people of Kolkata must feel to be connected to such great minds. He also praised the city’s spiritual leaders and paid a special tribute to the legendary poet Rabindranath Tagore. He said, ‘It is also called the City of Joy, right? It’s a matter of great pride for you all to have such great people–whether they are spiritual leaders or Rabindranath Tagore ji. I was reading about him, and I liked something he said. Someone told him that since he wrote the national anthem, he should write a world anthem too. His reply was beautiful. He said, ‘Guru Nanak Dev Ji already wrote it in the 15th century.’
The singer took time out before his show to visit some of the city’s iconic landmarks. Taking to its official Instagram account on Saturday, Diljit’s team shared a couple of pictures and videos from his visit. In the pictures, the singer was seen walking up the stairs of the historic venue, sitting by a window, and ordering a cup of hot milk coffee. In one picture, he thanked the server with a warm smile. A video also captured him enjoying his coffee while taking in the view of the bustling city from the window. On Friday, Diljit also visited the Dakshineswar temple after landing in Kolkata. The singer offered prayers, meditated in the serene temple premises, and shared a video of his experience. The actor-singer also left fans in awe as he took a ride in the city’s iconic yellow taxi and sat along the scenic banks of the Hooghly River during his sightseeing trip.
