Diljit expresses of not living with family since childhood

40 year old singer Diljit Dosanjh has recently opened up about his childhood and relationship with his parents. The singer broke down while speaking about his parents as he holds no relation with them anymore.

During an interview he expressed, “I was eleven years old when I left my home and started living with my mamaji. I came to the city leaving my village behind. I shifted to Ludhiana. He said ‘send him to the city with me’ and my parents said ‘yes, take him.’ My parents did not even ask me.”

He added, “I used to stay alone in a small room. I used to just go to school and come back, there wasn’t any TV. I had a lot of time. Also, we didn’t have mobile phones back then, even if I had to call home or receive a call from my parents, it cost us money. So I started becoming distant from my family. I respect my mother a lot. My father is a very sweet person. He did not ask me anything. He did not even ask which school I studied. But my connection with them broke. Not just with them, with everyone.”

Currently, the singer-actor is gearing up for his new movie, Amar Singh Chamkila, he will be seen essaying the role of slain Punjabi musician Amar Singh Chamkila.
