Punjabi music sensation Karan Aujla has achieved a major milestone by appearing on Jimmy Fallon’s popular late-night talk show, The Tonight Show, becoming the second Punjabi artist after Diljit Dosanjh to do so. The singer brought the energy to the stage by teaching Fallon lively bhangra moves, dancing to his hit track Ghabru.
A Fun-Filled Exchange
The segment began with Fallon welcoming Aujla enthusiastically: “I can’t believe this. How are you?” to which Aujla replied, “Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. Good to see you.” Fallon complimented Aujla’s appearance, joking, “Look at you, you look fantastic. I wish I looked like this!” The duo then grooved together, creating a viral moment that fans couldn’t get enough of.
Reactions poured in online. One fan wrote, “Americans look so funny doing bhangra, but at least he tried!” Another commented, “From listening to him on 9x Tashan to watching him on Fallon—proud moment!” A third added, “Punjabi pride hittin’ diff when Aujla steps up.”
Home, Safety & Dreams of Returning
Though Aujla currently resides in Dubai, having left Canada in 2023 for safety reasons, his heart remains in Punjab. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, he shared, “I’d love to live in my village. Even if it’s far, I’d travel. But the situation isn’t right yet.”
Speaking about the threats he’s faced, Aujla added, “I’ve seen bullets hit my windows. It’s not a show. People have died. We can’t take chances.”
Despite the challenges, Aujla continues to shine globally—balancing fame with caution, and always carrying a piece of Punjab with him.
