Indian singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has opened up about his decision to perform the iconic ‘Sanson Ki Mala’, originally performed by legendary Pakistani qawwali maestro Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
During a recent Instagram Live, Diljit explained that he performed the song at his Wembley concert purely out of his love and admiration for Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and his music.

His remarks came as he explained the thought behind his Wembley performance of ‘Sanson Ki Mala’, once again expressing his deep respect for the late Pakistani legend and his timeless musical legacy.
