Did you know that Diljit's journey began when he was just 11 years old, when his parents left him with his uncle and aunt? This separation was a big emotional shock for him, and his parents had no idea that this moment would shape him into the singer he would become. After this, Diljit began singing and writing songs at the Gurudwara. By the age of 18, he had already released his first album, marking the beginning of his climb to fame.
