Diljit Dosanjh is no doubt one of the most popular Punjabi singer taking the world by storm with one concert after another but it seems like not everything is going as smoothly as it looks. Recently, a dancer has allegedly pulled out of Diljit Dosanjh’s Dil-Luminati Tour’s Europe leg due to non-payment issues. Notably, this comes after a few months when many dancers from his North American tour crew accused Diljit’s team of not paying dues.
Dancer Accuses Diljit Dosanjh’s Team
Shilpa Sajan a female dancer for Diljit Dosanjh’s Dil-Luminati Tour took to her Instagram and shared about how super excited she was about the opportunity but the dance industry has shown its true colours once again. She went on to add how it was riddled with unprofessionalism, egos, and total disrespect for dancers and was then told that it’s just how Indians work and how no celebrity is worth giving up your self-respect and tagged Diljit Dosanjh’s instagram handle.
Furthermore, she also explained in detail about the situation and revealed that she was offered the role of a backup dancer for Diljit’s Dil-Luminati Europe leg and she was already aware of the previous controversy with the backup dancers. But Diljit’s management assured that she would be compensated monetarily. But things took a turn for the worse when the tour commenced as she realised that the pay of 80 pounds was not sufficient enough for her to cover her accommodation, and domestic and international travel, which was asked by Diljit’s management.
Shilpa Sajan was left furious due to the situation and said that she had never worked with such an unprofessional and disrespectful management team in her entire life. “Everything was a mess,” she wrote on her Instagram. She also revealed that the messages by other dance members were ignored and many of them were cut off at the last minute with no emphasis on rehearsals which affected the final performances with Diljit.
An official response from Diljit Dosanjh’s team is yet to come. For the unversed after wrapping up his Europe Dil-Luminati tour, Diljit will start with his India leg of the tour with multiple shows in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune and more.
