Diljit changed the lyrics of his songs in Hyderabad show
In one of the clips, Diljit was heard singing his hit song Lemonade. There was a line from the song: Tainu Teri Daru Cha Pasand Aa Lemon Pani. Diljit changed it to Tainu Teri Coke Cha Pasand Aa Lemonade. Diljit changed the lyrics of his song 5 Tara from 5 Tara Thekke Utthe to 5 Tara Hotel. Diljit was also seen laughing while singing the song.
Fans appreciate this style of Diljit
Responding to the post, a fan said, “Brother, Telangana government cooked very bad food.” One person wrote, “Aur lo pange (try to trigger more).” One comment said, “The Telangana government really thought they could dampen Diljit’s enthusiasm. The joke’s on them – they just cracked open a Coke and kept the party going!” One Instagram user said, “The way he and his team changed the lyrics at the last minute to follow the legal guidelines is worth appreciating, they proved this is one of the greatest of all time …”
What happened
The singer performed at the GMR Arena on Friday evening. On Thursday, the Telangana government in its notice banned the singer from using children on stage during his shows as loud sounds and flashing lights during concerts are harmful for children.
The notice was issued after a representation from a resident of Chandigarh and was issued by the District Welfare Officer, Rangareddy, Department of Welfare of Women and Children, Disabled and Senior Citizens. The notice said the representations submitted along with video evidence stated that Dosanjh had sung songs promoting alcohol, drugs and violence during a live show at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi last month.
