Watch: Diljit Dosanjh introduces his mother, sister at UK concert
In a heartwarming moment, Diljit Dosanjh introduced his family to his fans at a concert in Manchester on Saturday. This was the first time the Punjabi singer-actor publicly introduced his family. The introduction happened during his ongoing Dil-Luminati Tour in the United Kingdom. A video of this touching moment has since gone viral on social media platforms.
Dosanjh's emotional introduction of family members
During the concert, Dosanjh was seen bowing to a woman before hugging her and announcing to the audience, "By the way, this is my mom." The woman, identified as his mother Sukhwinder Kaur, was visibly moved by his gesture. He then introduced another woman as his sister. Known for being private about his personal life, this public acknowledgment of his family is a significant departure for Dosanjh.

Dosanjh was rumored to be married earlier
While Dosanjh is all about the glitz and glamor, he has kept his personal life pretty much under wraps. Earlier this year, Indian Express claimed he's hitched to an Indian-American woman and has a son, thanks to a friend's tip-off. But Dosanjh hasn't said a word to confirm or deny it. Fellow artist Ammy Virk even backed him up in an interview with News18 Showsha, saying it's his personal affair, and there's probably a solid reason why he's staying mum.
Dosanjh's future tour plans
After wrapping up his UK tour, Dosanjh is all set to kick off the Indian leg of his tour in October, starting at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on October 26. After that, he'll be heading to Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Pune, Kolkata, Bangalore, Indore, Chandigarh, and Guwahati. The Dil-Luminati tour has been a massive success, with over 2.5 lakh tickets sold, reportedly making it the highest-grossing concert tour in India.
Dosanjh's upcoming film projects
On the acting front, Dosanjh recently revealed his role in Border 2, alongside Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan. The sequel is set against the backdrop of the Battle of Longewala and filming will reportedly begin in November. Apart from this Bollywood project, he also has a Punjabi film titled Sardarji 3 lined up for release.
