Diljit shed light on the saying of Manmohan Singh and stated that even youth should learn how to tackle tough situations and people who say bad about them. During the concert, he said, “Agar main unki life ki journey ki taraf dekhu, toh unhone itna saada jeewan jia hai. Agar unko kisi ne bura bhi bola, toh unhone kabhi ulta jawaab nhi diya. Halanki politics ke career me ye sabse mushkil kaam hai (If I look at his life, he led a very simple one. Even if someone spoke ill about him, he never answered back. This is, however, the toughest thing to do in politics).”
He also stated a quote by the late PM, “Hazaron jawab o se meri khamoshi acchi, najane kitne sawalon ki aabrun rakhe.” It loosely translates to – My silence is better than a thousand answers, it has saved the grace of many questions.
He further added, “I think today’s youth should learn it, I should too. We should focus on our goals even if people speak worst about us and try to distract us. The one who is speaking badly about us is also an avatar of God. You are being tested on how you react to it.”
Sharing the video, Diljit wrote, “Today’s Concert is dedicated to Dr Manmohan Singh Ji (folded hands emoji). DIL-LUMINATI TOUR Year 24 (lotus emoji).”
On Thursday, late Manmohan Singh passed away at 92 in Delhi after a prolonged illness. He was a renowned economist and politician who served as India’s 13th Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014. Known as the architect of India’s 1991 economic reforms, he played a pivotal role in liberalizing the country’s economy while serving as the Finance Minister.
On the work front, Diljit has wrapped up his Dil-Luminati India tour with his final performance in Guwahati. Talking about movies, he is expected to be seen in No Entry 2 and Border 2.
