Diljit Dosanjh Reveals Rejecting His Favourite Director’s Big Film

Singer, and actor-producer, Diljit Dosanjh has made his place in Bollywood and is doing seemingly well here. The audience quite loves Diljit not just for his works but also for his grounded nature, which is often reflected in interviews and all.

Diljit Dosanjh got candid and spoke about how he does not have a ‘safe career’. Diljit said he lives for pride and is happy doing the work he does best, singing and acting. “I live for pride. If I had cared about money, I would have done more films, more marriage shows, 4-5 Punjabi films every year. I never run after money. I always wanted to be famous ever since I was a kid. There is no limit to fame. I only want to do good work and enjoy my life. I am happy about whatever I am able to do and am grateful to God,” he says.

He added , “I don’t have a job with pension. My job starts from zero every day. I don’t have such a safe career. After all, where will I take this money! Our life expectancy is 60-70 years, none of us will take it along.”

He continues to get a lot of film offers but money is not a priority for him. “I am currently working with Imtiaz Ali. Yesterday only I rejected a big film. I don’t do something just for the sake of money, something I don’t feel like doing. I only do if I like the subject. Yesterday, I heard a script from my favourite director’s production house but I said, ‘I don’t see myself in this.’”

“I also do shows, create songs, release an album every year; it takes a lot of time. If I was only an actor, I would have done more films. If I was only a singer, I would have done many more songs. I am doing everything altogether but I don’t want to beat the tabla. I am doing everything at my own pace,” he adds.

The singer-actor is currently working on his next with Imtiaz Ali and says he wants to do all that his heart desires, but at his own pace. He was recently seen in Punjabi comedy film Babe Bhangra Paunde Ne.
