Indian singer Diljit Dosanjh’s live performance in Ahmedabad, part of his ongoing Dil-Luminati tour, took an unexpected twist when he slipped on stage during his hit track “Patiala Peg.”

The incident, which occurred midway through the song, was captured on video and quickly spread across social media, catching the attention of fans and the media alike.

Despite the slip, Dosanjh showed his resilience and professionalism by regaining his balance and continuing his performance without missing a beat.

Pausing briefly to address the situation, he explained that the accident had been caused by fuel spilling onto the stage due to the pyrotechnics used during the show.

The singer humorously urged the event organizers to be more cautious, saying, “Bhai yahan pe fire jo chhodte ho, mat chhodo. Tel aata hai yahan. I am okay,” reassuring the audience that he was unharmed. He also requested the organizers to refrain from using such effects in the future to prevent similar accidents.

This fall was reminiscent of a similar incident from the early 2010s when Dosanjh had fallen during a performance of “Lakk 28” alongside Yo Yo Honey Singh.

However, in both instances, Dosanjh demonstrated remarkable resilience, immediately bouncing back and maintaining his energetic stage presence. His ability to recover and continue the concert with high energy kept the audience engaged and excited.

Aside from addressing the fall, Dosanjh also used the moment to talk about a legal issue that had recently come to light. The singer revealed that before his concert in Hyderabad, he had received a legal notice asking him to remove references to alcohol and drugs from his songs.

While no such notice had been issued for his Ahmedabad performance, Dosanjh took the opportunity to modify the lyrics of “Patiala Peg” to avoid any potential controversy.

In his remarks, Dosanjh also highlighted the broader scope of his musical career, which often goes unrecognized. He pointed out that while his popular tracks like “Patiala Peg” attract attention, his recent devotional songs had not received as much coverage. “I have sung dozens of devotional songs. In the last 10 days, I released two devotional tracks, but no one talks about them—only ‘Patiala Peg’ makes headlines,” he said, emphasizing the need to acknowledge his full range as an artist.

The singer also responded to the alcohol-related controversy by proposing a challenge to the authorities: “If all states completely ban liquor, I will never sing about alcohol again. At the very least, declare a dry day on my concert dates, and I will refrain from performing any alcohol-related songs,” he said, showing his willingness to engage in a constructive dialogue on the matter.
