I was eleven years old… Diljit Dosanjh opens up about the strain in his relationship with his parents

Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh is all set for his upcoming release Amar Singh Chamkila. Recently in a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia aka Bear Biceps, Diljit talked about his childhood and how he got separated from his family after shifting to the city with his relatives. Let us know in detail what Diljit Dosanjh has said.

With Ranveer Allahabadia, Diljit recalled how at the age of eleven he left his home and started living with his maternal uncle. He said, “I left my village and came to the city. I went to Ludhiana. They said ‘send her with me to the city’ and my parents said ‘yes, take her.’ My parents didn’t even ask me.”

He further added, “I lived alone in a small room. I would just go to school and come back, there was no TV. I had a lot of time. Besides, we didn’t even have mobile phones.” Then, if I had to call home or get a call from my parents, it cost us money. So I started moving away from my family. My father was a very sweet person, he didn’t even ask me which school I studied in, but not only him, I lost touch with everyone.

Diljit Dosanjh hails from a small town in Punjab and gained recognition in Punjabi music with his albums Smile in 2005 and Chocolate in 2008. He has established himself as one of the most talented artists in Bollywood as well as Punjabi. He has also worked with other international artists including Sia, Camilo and Saweetie.
