This isn't the first time Dosanjh has made waves beyond borders. In April, he made history by becoming the first Punjabi artist to headline Vancouver's BC Place Stadium during his "Dil-Luminati" tour. His sold-out concert was a testament to his growing global appeal, a fact he proudly proclaimed on social media, saying, “HISTORY HAS BEEN WRITTEN.”

Dosanjh's journey to global recognition soared further when he became the first Punjabi artist to grace the stage at Coachella last year. His electrifying performance, accompanied by the jubilant proclamation, “Punjabi aa gaye Coachella oye,” swiftly became a viral sensation.

Beyond his musical conquests, Dosanjh has also been making waves in the world of cinema. His recent starring role in Imtiaz Ali's musical biopic "Amar Singh Chamkila," alongside Parineeti Chopra, garnered critical acclaim. Additionally, his presence in "Crew," alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon, further solidified his status as a versatile performer.

His latest film, "Jatt and Juliet 3," alongside Neeru Bajwa, is set to hit theatres later this month.
