In the ever-evolving entertainment industry, where the spotlight often shines on the fitness and lifestyle of celebrities, actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh’s simple dietary choices have caught public attention. As he actively shares snippets from his daily life, including his culinary skills on social media platforms, fans get an exclusive peek into his food habits. Currently buzzing with anticipation for his upcoming Netflix release ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’, Diljit Dosanjh has opened up about maintaining his diet and handling the inevitable temptations of cheat meals during a candid interaction with IANS.
When queried about his dining preferences and whether the presence of cutlery affects his eating habits, Diljit replies with an easygoing charm, “I can have anything. If there’s cutlery kept in front of me, I would use that, and if not, then I wouldn’t wait, I would just have my food like that.” It is clear from his practical response that the tools at hand do not dictate his enjoyment of a meal.
A closer look at his food posts reveals that Diljit keeps his meals straightforward and wholesome. Despite this apparent simplicity, he confides in avoiding carbohydrates, particularly stating, “I don’t eat rice.” As a daily practice, he incorporates lentils into his meals but limits his intake of carbohydrates mostly to the mornings. After several days, however, like many of us, he confronts cravings and occasionally succumbs to less optimal food choices during the night. “Then I regret it in the morning, but then I fix it in the morning,” he admits while discussing the familiar cycle of indulgence and correction—a regimen familiar to many striving for a balanced diet.
Diljit Dosanjh’s latest film project, ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’, directed by the talented Imtiaz Ali, narrates the real-life story of Amar Singh Chamkila, a legendary figure in Punjabi music. The biopic delves into Chamkila’s journey from the depths of penury to becoming a celebrated artist in the 1980s, his music captivating the masses and simultaneously stoking controversies, eventually leading to his untimely demise. Diljit steps into the shoes of the titular character, with Parineeti Chopra playing his wife Amarjot Kaur. The film promises to bring forth the essence of an era and the life of a man who became an icon of popular culture before his life was tragically curtailed. Netflix is set to premiere ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ on April 12.
On the professional front, Diljit Dosanjh continues to diversify his roles and challenge himself as an artist. He was recently seen in ‘Crew’, donning the role of Jaiveer Singh, a customs officer. His fans are now eagerly waiting for ‘Jatt and Juliet 3’ where he reunites with Neeru Bajwa; the franchise has been immensely popular for its perfect mix of romance, comedy, and drama, gaining a loyal following. The anticipation around the third installment, where the duo returns to screen with their much-loved characters, has heightened the excitement among audiences.
Diljit Dosanjh’s transparency about his gastronomic choices and the discipline he exercises in his diet, juxtaposed with his relentless energy in his cinematic ventures, paints the portrait of a star who is relatable and grounded. His no-fuss approach to food and his career choices speak volumes about his personal discipline and professional dedication. This unique blend of authenticity and talent continues to endear him not only to his fans but also to cinema and music enthusiasts worldwide. With a new project on the horizon and an unwavering commitment to his craft, Diljit Dosanjh remains a prominent figure in the entertainment landscape, both on and off-screen.
