During the concert, Diljit opened up about the meaning of his signature line, “Punjabi aa gaye oye.” He told the crowd, “When I was born, my mother spoke Punjabi. The first word I learned was in Punjabi. Our nation has many languages, and I respect them all. Whether you speak Gujarati, Marathi, Kannada, or Hindi – I respect all of you. But since my mother spoke Punjabi, I also speak Punjabi.”
