'Blame me, but not my fault': Diljit Dosanjh addresses black marketing at Indore concert

Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh spoke about the issue of black marketing of tickets for his concerts during his performance in Indore while performed on Sunday.

He said, “For a long time, people in our country have been going against me saying the tickets are being sold in black. So, it's not my fault that the tickets are getting sold in black. If you buy a ticket for Rs 10 and sell it for Rs 100, then what's the fault of the artist? I remember the poem by Rahat Indori”.

He went on to recite the poem, as he said, “Not in my cage, put it somewhere else. You've brought the sky, fine, you may put it on the ground. Sir, where will you go to find my killers now? Sir, where will you go to find my killers now? Do one thing, put the blame on me. So, people from the media, blame me as much as you want. I don't have any fear of being defamed. I don't have any tension”.

“This is not something new, since the time of cinema in India, the black marketing of tickets has been going on for a long time, only the avenues have changed”, he added.

Diljit also shared a hilarious clip of fans climbing on truck's roof to catch a glimpse of the Punjabi singer and his concert.  Taking to his Instagram Stories, Diljit shared the video of a few fans climbing the top of a truck stationed outside the venue.

“Indore. Fan pit (wrong emoji) Truck pit (correct emoji),” Diljit captioned the video.  In the background, dance track Kinni Kinni could be heard.

Earlier, during his Jaipur concert in November, a group of college students witnessed his concert from the balcony of their PG accommodation in the neighbourhood of the venue.

While in Ahmedabad, some attended his concert from the balconies of a neighbouring hotel last month. Diljit's tour, which is christened, the Dil-Luminati Tour will conclude in Guwahati on December 29 after performing in Chandigarh.
