Diljit Dosanjh Clarifies KBC Visit Was for Punjab Flood Relief

Diljit Dosanjh clarified that his appearance on "Kaun Banega Crorepati 17" (KBC) was not for promotional purposes but to raise awareness and support for the ongoing Punjab floods. The Punjabi singer-actor, who won Rs 50 lakh on the show, has announced that he will donate the entire prize money to flood relief efforts in Punjab, highlighting his commitment to his community.

Recently, Diljit faced threats from Khalistani groups, especially after touching Amitabh Bachchan’s feet on the show—a gesture perceived as controversial by some. In his social media posts, Diljit reiterated that his visit was solely to highlight Punjab’s devastation caused by heavy monsoon rains and to encourage donations for flood-affected families. He emphasized that he went for a national platform to support Punjab in its time of need, not for personal promotion.

Diljit has stood firm amid threats and controversies, expressing his love for Punjab and his desire to help rebuild the state. His act of charity and messages of resilience have garnered widespread support. His focus remains on contributing positively to Punjab’s recovery while dispelling misunderstandings surrounding his appearance on the show.
