Mumbai: Singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has addressed the controversy surrounding his recent appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), responding to criticism from the banned organization Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) over him touching Amitabh Bachchan’s feet during the show.
In an Instagram post, Diljit explained his purpose for appearing on the show: “Na mai kisey film di promotion lai geya si, na kisey ganey di… Punjab floods lai geya si… ke national level te gal hove, te loki donate kar sakan” — clarifying that he was not promoting any film or song, but raising awareness about the recent floods in Punjab so people across the country could contribute to relief efforts.
The SFJ had earlier accused him of dishonoring the victims of the 1984 Sikh riots, sparking criticism online. However, Diljit firmly maintained that his intention was to support flood victims and spread a message of unity, distancing himself from any political or divisive agenda.
Fans and followers lauded the singer-actor for using his platform to highlight humanitarian issues, emphasizing that his appearance on the national stage aimed to mobilize aid and solidarity for those affected by the natural disaster in Punjab.
Diljit’s clarification underlines his continued commitment to social causes, reinforcing that his public actions are guided by empathy and civic responsibility rather than controversy.
