Diljit Dosanjh on Ratan Tata

A video of Diljit interrupting his singing on stage to talk about Ratan Tata's life and death was widely shared on social media. In the video, the singer addresses the crowd in Punjabi and Hindi and says, “You all know Ratan Tata. He died and I pay tribute to him. I felt like I had to take his name today because he worked hard all his life.” As much as I've read or heard about him, I can't remember him speaking ill of anyone. He always worked hard, did good work and helped people.

Diljit talks about lessons learned from the life of late Ratan Tata and adds, “Yahi zindagi hai (This is life). If we can learn anything from his life, it is that we must work hard, think well and help others. Bedaag apni life jee ke gaye woh (He lived his life without blemish).”

Diljit has been on tour for several weeks now, performing in the US and Europe. He will soon be bringing his Dil Luminati tour to India, starting with two back-to-back shows in Delhi from October 26-27. The singer will then perform in half a dozen Indian cities throughout December.
