Popular Indian singer Diljit Dosanjh recently made a heartwarming gesture during one of his concerts in Manchester, United Kingdom, promoting love and unity between India and Pakistan.

Dosaanjh, 40, called a fan on stage and presented her with a signed box of sneakers. He then asked her where she was from, to which she replied that she belonged to Pakistan.

In response, the Punjabi music sensation requested the huge crowd of fans at his concert to applaud her, emphasising a message of love and harmony between the two neoghbouring countries.

"Look, whether India or Pakistan, for me they are all one. There is love for everyone within Punjabi hearts," he said, as the loud crowd of fans cheered at his concert.

The singer further stressed that borders that separate countries were the "creations of our politicians", promoting a positive relationship between the people of both India and Pakistan that continue to share strained diplomatic relations. 

Dosanjh has previously expressed his love for Pakistani music when he performed popular Pakistani singer Arif Lohar's famous Punjabi hit, 'Jugni', during a performance in the American city of Dallas in May this year.

Dosanjh, who launched his artistic career in India's Jalandhar in 2002, has seen a swift rise to stardom in recent years and is one of the biggest Punjabi superstars today.

Excelling in both singing and acting, he has transitioned from supporting roles to lead roles not just in Punjabi cinema but also in mainstream Bollywood movies, garnering immense popularity.

Media reports indicate that he commands a substantial fee for his performances, with an estimated wealth of around Rs5.7 billion.

According to Indian media reports, Dosanjh received INR300 million to perform at the extravagant wedding festivities of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani's son, Anant Ambani, this year. This amount equals about a billion Pakistani rupees.
