Diljit Dosanjh invites Hania Aamir on stage
Diljit Dosanjh's O2 Arena in London saw not just a passionate-as-ever crowd, but also a radiant Hania Aamir amongst the fans. But that's not just it. As evidenced by a viral clip circulating on social media platforms, the singer extended the actor an opportunity to climb up on stage and view the audience with him. Hania gladly obliged, mounting the steps with Diljit by her side and happily greeting and thanking the audience.
The performer later posted highlights from the show to his Instagram handle - a carousel featuring the famed Pakistani actor. Hania stood grinning brightly in a swarm of enthusiasts as she gazed up at the stage in awe, her palms pressed to her chest in wonder. Even the Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum star shared a reel from the concert on her Stories, tagging Diljit and remarking, "Magic."
Fans mirrored Hania's joy in the comments section. "Just loved it," one user enthused. "She deserves this appreciation. So glad that she handled it with grace as she always does!" Others referred to her as a "superstar" and "our queen". Some of Diljit's followers couldn't believe their eyes.
"Hania, is that you?" the actor's fan account wondered. "All I can see is Hania," another remarked. "Hania and Diljit, this is insane!" a user exclaimed. "Borders divide us, Diljit Dosanjh unites us," one of the performer's fans observed. Diljit has recently been championing cross-border solidarity in his shows, an act which has been the subject of international public approval and delight.
During a Manchester concert, the Indian singer gifted a box of shoes to a Pakistani fan and declared that borders between the two countries are the work of politicians. "A round of applause," he requested in a video posted to his handle, as the fan introduced herself to the crowd. "Hindustan, Pakistan, for me everyone's the same. Punjabis nurture love for all in our hearts. Everyone is welcomed at my shows, no matter if you're from India or Pakistan."
The comments section under the Manchester show's carousel was flooded with love and admiration from Indian and Pakistani fans alike. "The speech about Pakistan and India melted my heart," expressed one user. The gesture earned the attention of actor Aiman Khan, who also shared some love with a heart-eyes emoji and a flag emoji.
One fan summarised the artist's efforts in an apt comment, "There are no words to say how brilliant the concert was. He's a talented and humble human being and was born to shine."
