Diljit Dosanjh: Better you hear, better you sing

Diljit Dosanjh on how being amidst talented musicians while judging Rising Star helped hone his skills despite limited practice

Diljit Dosanjh

In a noisy ballroom of a city five-star, I wait for an interaction with Diljit Dosanjh. It has been four years since I interviewed the Punjabi singer-actor, who was then making headlines for his lauded single, Proper Patola. Dosanjh was always a phenomenon in the North, but is also a sought-after name in Bollywood today. But success in the most coveted film industry hasn’t robbed him of his humility. The sense of calm that welcomed me then is intact as he greets me with a Sat Sri Akal.

As we settle for a tete-a-tete, it’s hard to not spare a thought to the shift in demeanour Dosanjh had acquired last year. While judging the music reality show, Rising Star, he was overtly peppy and eccentric. Ahead of the onset of the second season of the live show, he doesn’t dismiss the suggestion that the front he put up was significantly at odds with the man he is. “It’s the demand of the platform. It’s like doing a film. I am required to be peppy, failing which, the show would become dull. I’m a quiet person and not great at expressing myself. But I don’t find it [being enthusiastic on the show] difficult, because acting is my job.”

As he promises to showcase “amazing talent” in the second outing, Dosanjh says his stint as judge on part 1 was also a learning experience. “Singing live is not easy. It’s inspiring to see the participants deliver great acts at the first instance. For films, singers get retakes. They [participants] don’t have that option.” Juggling between the roles of singer and actor in both, Bollywood and Punjabi cinema, Dosanjh found himself pulling strings to accommodate his commitments last year. With little time to work on honing his singing skills, his riyaaz sessions took a hit for three months. It was his role as mentor on the show, his debut reality outing, that enabled him to work on his craft. “By being around great musicians, I managed to centre myself as a singer. The better you hear, the better you will sing. In naye kalaakaron ki sur pe pakad dekh kar mujhe bahut help mili,” he says about the gig, which sees Shankar Mahadevan and Monali Thakur as co-judges.

Last year, Dosanjh was able to sing his way into people’s hearts with Raula from Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017). It was one among a series of songs — Dum Dum from Phillauri, Move Your Lakk from Noor and Sadda Move from Raabta — that fared well on the music charts. Yet, it’s discussion on his track Ishq Di Baziyan from his next, Soorma, which brings a twinkle to his eye. “Gulzar saab has written the song,” he says with childlike enthusiasm. “As a kid, I would enjoy listening to the prologues by Gulzar saab in Jagjit Singh’s ghazals. I would rewind the tape and listen to him repeatedly. He was in the studio when I recorded this number. When I finished, he said, ‘Beta, tumne aaj meri shaam bana di.’ It was a dream come true.”

Dosanjh has at least three Bollywood films in the pipeline. But even with the Hindi ventures mounting, Dosanjh doesn’t intend to pull back on Punjabi projects. “I want to do at least one Punjabi film every year. My next, Sajjan Singh Rangroot, releases on March 23. It’s based on World War I. I am also recording a lot of Punjabi songs. My album releases next month.”

Diljit Dosanjh has a secret weapon specially designed in slaying us all and I can’t really put my hand on what exactly it is. This handsome dude is a multi tasker, and is effortless in that.

A post shared by Diljit Dosanjh (@diljitdosanjh) on Dec 18, 2017 at 8:44pm PST

Ever since he forayed into movies, fans thought his wonderful foot tapping music will take a backseat. Diljit shut up everyone with a beautiful rendition of ‘Ik Kudi’ in his debut movie itself. Then came his other projects. Few months ago while he was busy shooting for a war movie in London, everyone urged him to drop a song. When Diljit takes on a task, he puts his ‘dil’ and ‘dimaag’ both at work. The result was the love number, ‘El Sueno’. Now, while he is impressing everyone with his current look in the hockey movie, he is back with a new song. It’s called ‘Raat Di Gedi’ and is perfectly for our own night ‘gedi’ in this cold weather.

Fans are particularly happy with the video because after a long time, we got to see Diljit with the pretty Neeru Bajwa. They made a great pair in all the movies they did together. Diljit’s new tracks are different from his ‘5 Taara’ days but they are just another feather in his cap after all. So, is this song going in your New Year bash playlist?

Custom made vanity van for Taapsee Pannu

Celebrities

Oct 072017

Bollywood actors spend more time in their vanity vans and Taapsee Pannu is no different. The actress, who is busy shooting back-to-back films, spends most of her time in her vanity van. She has got herself a new vanity and has customised it for herself.

Taapsee Pannu

Taapsee wanted to give a personal touch and hence decided to customize it herself with her inputs for the same. She has also designed her own house and same goes with her vanity as she likes to have her surrounding comfortable and the way she likes it.

Speaking about this she said, “It is our second home and that is a major reason and I was really happy when it got delivered to me. Recently I have done films where I have got drained out; you really want to have your own space. The first thing you do when you enter the set is you enter the van and that somewhere triggers your mood and your day. I wanted my van to be very pleasant and give me positive vibes because that’s where I start my day.”

Taapsee was last seen in Judwaa 2 and we will see her next in Anubhav Sinha’s ‘Mulk’ and Shaad Ali’s next with Diljit Dosanjh.

Sonakshi Sinha defends her outrageous outfit at IIFA awards

Celebrities

Aug 242017

Sonakshi Sinha

Given that the fashion police is usually up in arms against Tinsel town celebrities, particularly during awards galas, it was unusual, bold even, for Sonakshi Sinha to sport a multi-coloured floral nine-yard for the International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) in New York earlier this year.

Sinha received flak for her unusual outfit until it was later revealed by a celebrity photographer that the look was part of her upcoming Vashu Bhagnani project, based on the coveted awards night. Responding to the criticism, Sinha tells mid-day, “There was a lot of confusion over my outfits, because, one was for the shoot and the other was what I chose for the event.

When people will watch the film, it will make sense.” The IIFA film, believed to be India’s first staged reality film, pairs Sinha alongside Diljit Dosanjh. Sinha says she couldn’t refuse the film owing to her long-standing association with IIFA organisers, Wizcraft. “Also, the concept is interesting, yet borderline bizarre. Nobody knew that an actual film was being shot live on the green carpet. It was funny as fans were calling out to us and we couldn’t react because we were in character.”

Diljit Dosanjh To Romance This Leggy Lass In His Next Film And We're Loving It

Celebrities

Jul 262017

He rules the northern belt of India and is making his own space in B-town. Diljit Dosanjh may have done just two films in Bollywood but the man is already ruling millions of heart. From establishing himself as an actor who can ace any character to winning Best Male Debutant in IIFA for ‘Udta Punjab', he has already become a name that many watch out for.

He gave a great performance in ‘Udta Punjab' and his chemistry with Kareena Kapoor Khan was appreciated. Well, one has to agree that sharing screen space with Kareena and not being over-showed by her charm is something Diljit really rocked at. Soon he left us amazed when he bagged ‘Phillauri' starring Anushka Sharma and people loved his Sufi avatar in the film. And how can we forget songs by him!

And now this Punjabi heartthrob is all set to romance leggy lass Ileana D'Cruz. Now isn't that an amazing news? We bet these two will set the screen on fire and we can't wait to see them together.

This film is being directed by Shaad Ali who is known for his films ‘Saathiya' and ‘Ok Jaanu'. The title of the film is yet to be decided but one got to agree Shaad has roped in a fresh pair and people will definitely love to see them together.

Currently, Ileana is gearing up for the release of her film ‘Mubarakan' starring Arjun Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Athiya Shetty which is set to hit the theatres on 28th July. Also, she will be seen in ‘Baadshaho' with Ajay Devgn, a film that has the emergency period as its backdrop.

Not many know but Diljit was also offered the role that Emraan Hashmi is playing in ‘Baadshaho' but things didn't get materialised. “Milan sir is a nice director. The role that I was offered I felt I would not be able to justify. It was a nice role. But I couldn't relate to the character. I felt I couldn't just do it. I did speak to Milan sir after that,” Diljit told in a media interaction.

Well, Shaad Ali's movie is set to start its shoot from September 2017 and we bet many of us are already loving the idea of watching these two together.
