Diljit Dosanjh is set to return to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon after 2 years of his first appearance. The singer and actor recently shared a short video from the studio, giving fans an early look at what is coming next. The clip has quickly gained attention online, especially because of a fun Bhangra moment with Jimmy Fallon.
Diljit posted a behind the scenes video on Instagram. In the clip, his team opens a door inside the studio and says, “Kya lagta tha nahi lautenge? (You thought we would not come back?)” This is followed by Diljit appearing on camera and saying, “Kaha tha na ke ek baar Punjabi aa jayein toh chethi nahi jaate… Jimmy Fallon aa gaye oye (We told you, once a Punjabi shows up, they don’t leave in a hurry… We are here at Jimmy Fallon).” After this, he starts doing Bhangra as his song Morni plays in the background.
Another video shared by the show’s official social media account shows Diljit teaching Jimmy Fallon some Bhangra steps. The two are seen dancing together and enjoying the moment. Their interaction looks relaxed and natural, and it has already received positive reactions from viewers online. The videos suggest that the episode will include music, dance, and a light conversation.
Diljit also shared that Jimmy Fallon sent him a thank you note. He posted this on his Instagram Stories, showing appreciation from the host for coming back to the show.
Diljit first appeared on the show in 2024. During that episode, he performed his songs G.O.A.T. and Born to Shine. He was introduced as the “biggest Punjabi artist on the planet,” and his performance stood out because of his music style and Bhangra.
At that time, he wore a white dhoti kurta along with a turban, which added a cultural touch to his appearance. His debut was seen as an important moment for Punjabi music reaching a wider global audience.
Apart from music, Diljit has also been working in films. He was recently seen in Border 2, which released earlier this year and did well at the box office.
With this return, Diljit continues to present Punjabi music on international platforms through performances and appearances like this one.
