Diljit Dosanjh Predicted His Stardom, First Co-Star, Jividha Sharma Says, 'He Is Changed Person Now'

Diljit Dosanjh has become one of the most successful Punjabi stars who have received unprecedented success in recent years. But nothing happened overnight for the star. He has done everything from venturing into Bollywood films, ruling the music charts with his songs, organising concerts worldwide, and sharing the stage with global stars. Long before Diljit appeared on the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Diljit was a singer-actor from a humble background with big dreams in his eyes and a belief that he could achieve those dreams. Sounds unbelievable? In a recent interview, Diljit's first co-star recalled how he predicted his stardom and how he has changed with time.

Diljit Dosanjh's first co-star shares her experience of working with him 

Diljit Dosanjh made his debut as a lead actor in the film, The Lion Of Punjab in 2011. In the film, he starred alongside Jividha Sharma, who sat down for an interview with The Lallantop and revealed that Diljit had predicted his stardom long back. She shared that he told her his goals that became come true over time. The actress highlighted that Diljit has changed over the years because his experience has improved his knowledge and understanding. In her words:

"I remember working with him. He is a changed person now. His experience over the years has made him an intellect. All that he has achieved today with his hard work is commendable. And the best thing about him is that God, too, blessed him." 

Jividha Sharma, cast into their film as a last-minute replacement, revealed that despite being a new actor while working with her, he was a star owing to his success as a singer. Consequently, he got the film because many singers venture into acting in Punjab. However, Diljit left no stone unturned in working hard as he used to shoot during the day and do stage shows at night, but he still looked unaffected. Recalling the time, she said: 

"He shot with us for the film in the morning and would rush at night to do his stage shows. These stage shows used to be in different cities, sometimes would go until early morning, yet he would always look fresh and be on time for the shoot. I used to ask him, how are you doing this? This was not humanly possible. And I guess because of all that hard work, he is where he is today."

Jividha Sharma recalls the moment Diljit shared his desire to be a star in Mumbai

In the same conversation, Jividha Sharma mentioned that Diljit Dosanjh was always vocal about his desire to be a star. One moment she especially remembered from their conversation was when they were in Mumbai and saw a big hoarding board in the City of Dreams. The actress shared that Diljit innocently looked at it and claimed that he would soon be there, and he did it. She said: 

"Once, we were travelling somewhere in Mumbai, towards Andheri West, I guess. There, we saw this huge hoarding board of a film or so. Looking at it very innocently yet confidently, Diljit said, 'One day, I will be there on the hoarding.' And years later, he was there."

The actor-singer also appeared on the American TV show, The Tonight Show, starring Jimmy Fallon and completed his Dil-Luminati tour in India and abroad. Diljit will be next seen in Border 2 and No Entry 2.
