Diljit Dosanjh teaches bhangra moves to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show

''They love you bud''. That's how talk show host Jimmy Fallon welcomed Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh on The Tonight Show and went on to match him step for bhangra step after asking him to teach a move or two. When Fallon, who shared an Instagram clip on Tuesday, asked which beat should play, Dosanjh joked that you can dance the bhangra even to the sound of a generator. The singer-actor then went on to teach Fallon a simple hook step from the traditional dance form from Punjab. Dosanjh also showcased an electrifying performance of his song ''Morni'' on the show. He first made an appearance on The Tonight Show in 2024 where he performed on a medley of ''Born to Shine'' and ''G.O.A.T.''. At the time, Fallon introduced Dosanjh as ''the biggest Punjabi artist on the planet''. Fallon was equally effusive in his praise this time. ''Welcome back to our show and I got to tell you that the last time you were on the show, it was such an amazing performance. And everywhere I went for the year after you came on, people were thanking me for having a Punjabi artist on our show and people were hugging me. People love you bud so thank you for coming back,'' Fallon told Dosanjh. The star said he always carries the message of ''love, forgiveness and respect'' and simply thanked Fallon for having him on the show. Fallon then asked the meaning behind a line that Dosanjh added at the end of his performance last time. '''Main Hoon Punjab'. I'm from Punjab. Sorry guys my English is very bad, pardon my English... Like the painter paint the painting and he's the signature. So that's a signature from my side. I'm from Punjab,'' the singer said. Fallon also asked about another of Dosanjh's signature line 'Punjabi aa gaye oye' (Punjabis have arrived). According to Dosanjh, that's a message for new kids coming on the block that they know that we are here and will go further. Fallon also congratulated Dosanjh for his 15th studio album ''Aura'', which has been streamed over 100 million times. Is it exciting for him to do these tours? Dosanjh said it was and went on to narrate the historical significance of a sold out 55,000 stadium show in Vancouver. ''That's very important for me. In 1914, my people came to Canada... That stadium is just two kilometres away from the Guru Nanak Jahaz Kamagata Maru incident. So that's a big thing for us. Fifty-five thousand people in a stadium just two kilometre away. You didn't allow us to come and now we are here,'' Dosanjh said as the audience broke into an applause. Dosanjh was referring to the 1914 incident when 376 passengers, mostly Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus from Punjab in British India, were denied entry because of a regulation that barred South Asian migration. The actor-singer hails from Dosanjh Kalan village in Jalandhar district and has gained global stardom with sold out North American shows, a performance at Cochella in 2023 and Hindi and Punjabi film career. ''I didn't go to college, university. I am 10th pass. that's why my English is bad,'' Dosanjh responded. Fallon posted an Instagram clip of him learning dance moves from Dosanjh. He simply captioned it ''@diljitdosanjh brought the ''AURA''. It was re-shared by Dosanjh. Dosanjh will next feature alongside Sharvari and Vedang Raina in Imtiaz Ali's directorial ''Main Vaapas Aaunga'', which will release on June 12. He has also sung the title track of the movie. Dosanjh and Ali last worked together on ''Amar Singh Chammkila'', a biopic on the slain Punjabi folk singer.
