Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh ushered in the year 2026 with a refreshingly candid and grounded solo adventure. The acclaimed singer and actor chose to embark on a personal journey, sharing unfiltered snippets of his experiences directly with his fans through social media. Stripping away the usual glamour, Dosanjh presented a relatable narrative of travel hiccups, simple comforts, and trusted home remedies.
A Rain-Soaked Walk and a Moment of Peace
In a video posted online, Dosanjh opened up about facing a common travel woe. He revealed that he was unable to secure a cab and consequently had to walk to his destination in the rain. Making the situation more challenging was the fact that he did not have an umbrella initially. However, fans were quick to appreciate his composed and unfazed demeanor as he handled the inconvenience without any complaint.
During his walk, the actor eventually managed to find an umbrella and also put on a mask, as he was already battling a cold. His path led him to a small Indian store, which became a source of solace. Inside, he took comfort in spotting a picture of Mata Lakshmi and several beautiful Indian art pieces. These familiar sights provided a touch of home and warmth during his damp journey. The video was aptly captioned with the words "solo trip," emphasizing the personal nature of his excursion.
The Trusted Desi Cure: Besan Cheela to the Rescue
Dosanjh did not shy away from discussing how the weather was impacting his health. He openly stated that he was suffering from a cold and a runny nose. Turning to traditional wisdom, he placed his faith in a classic desi home remedy. Through his Instagram stories, he showed his followers what he turns to when feeling under the weather.
"I have a cold... what do you call it, I have a runny nose. So, besan cheela and remedies with besan I will be using," he explained. The video captured him personally preparing the savory chickpea flour pancake. He admitted that the besan-based treatments were offering him some relief, though he remained cautious that the cold might return.
His approach in the kitchen was endearingly honest and devoid of any pretense. Smiling at his creation, he remarked in a mix of Punjabi and Hindi, "Pehle cheela thoda mota bana hai, par swaad bahut hai. Look beautiful." He further shared that he was in such a hurry to eat it that he consumed the cheela standing up, without even using a plate, highlighting his down-to-earth attitude.
On the Work Front: 'Border 2' Awaits
While connecting with fans on a personal level, Diljit Dosanjh also has a major professional commitment on the horizon. He is set to appear in the highly anticipated film 'Border 2'. The project is directed by Anurag Singh and features an ensemble cast including Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty in leading roles. The film industry and audiences alike are marking their calendars, as 'Border 2' is scheduled for release on 23 January 2026.
Dosanjh's simple, honest sharing from his solo trip resonated deeply with his audience, offering a glimpse of the man behind the fame who finds joy in small moments and swears by the healing power of besan cheela.
