Hyderabad: Punjabi star, Diljit Dosanjh who was forced to tweak his songs at a show in Hyderabad, took a dig at the Telangana government for double standards.

The popular singer-actor had to sing modified lyrics to his chartbusters ‘Lemonade’ and ‘5 Taara’ at the Hyderabad show of his Dil-Luminati India Tour 2024 tour on Saturday, after a notice was served on him by the Telangana government directing him to not sing any songs promoting alcohol, drugs or violence at the concert.

Clips of the famous singer-actor from the gig are circulating online where he can be seen singing “Tainu teri coke ch pasand aa Lemonade” instead of “Tainu teri daaru ch pasand aa Lemonade” from the song “Lemonade”. Similarly, the lyrics in “5 Taara” became “5 taara hotel ch” instead of the original “5 taara theke utte”.

Speaking to his audience during the show, Diljit observed that no restrictions were imposed when an artist is from abroad. “But when your artist is coming home to perform, you have a problem, you create trouble. But I’ll tell you something. God is with me, I won’t let this go,” he said.

He went on to add, “Many people are unable to digest why such big shows are happening. How are these tickets getting sold in two minutes? Bro, I’ve been working for a long time now. I didn’t become famous in a day.”
