Currently on his Dil-Luminati concert tour, which has already taken him to Canada and the US, Diljit recently performed in Manchester, UK, where he made a special gesture that left fans emotional.
During the Manchester concert, Diljit surprised a fan from Pakistan by giving her a gift on stage.
Upon learning about her nationality, he took the opportunity to speak about the bond between India and Pakistan.
In the message, he said that for him, India and Pakistan are one, and that love knows no borders.
"The borders are made by politicians, but the people remain the same," he stated, adding that Punjabis carry love for all in their hearts.
He warmly welcomed fans from both countries, saying, "So people who have come from my country, India, and people who have come from Pakistan, I welcome you all."
This gesture, captured on video, quickly went viral on social media, earning widespread praise.

His mother and sister were present in the crowd, and he shared a touching moment on stage, introducing them to his fans.
Diljit’s mother became emotional, shedding tears as she hugged her son, who serenaded her with a song and kissed her on the forehead.
Following the international leg of his tour, Diljit is set to commence the Indian leg in October.
His tour will kick off at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi on October 26, and will then continue to major cities, including Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Pune, Kolkata, Bangalore, Indore, Chandigarh, and Guwahati.
In addition to his tour, Diljit recently announced his role in the upcoming film Border 2, alongside Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan.
The sequel is set against the backdrop of the Battle of Longewala, with filming expected to start in November.
Previously, according to reports, Diljit earned an astonishing $28 million from his Dil Luminati tour, which ran from May to July and spanned multiple cities across the United States.
The concerts attracted huge crowds, and ticket prices ranged from $55,000 to $64,000.

The success of the North American leg of the tour has carried over to Europe and the U.K., where tickets for his upcoming shows sold out within seconds of release.
Diljit is now set to perform in various cities across Europe and the UK this month, with expectations of equally successful performances.
