Apart from his acting skills and impeccable voice, Diljit Dosanjh is also known for his unique sense of fashion.
Diljit once had an opportunity to be interviewed for the fashion and lifestyle magazine Vogue but skipped out on it! Here’s why!
Along with Kareena Kapoor Khan, Karan Johar and Natasha Poonawalla, Diljit was also chosen to be a part of a glamorous Vogue photoshoot in 2019.
However, Diljit revealed that he had purposely not given the interview because he did not feel confident about speaking in English. “It is a flaw. Everyone has flaws. Mine is that I do not know English. Yes there was an English madam who wanted to take my interview for Vogue. They called us especially to London to click our pictures. I was so bewildered even when I was on the plane. I was like these people are giving us tickets, booking hotels, just to click photos. Click it anywhere yaar,” Dosanjh says.
“When the photos were done, madam ji said she had to do interviews. She was interviewing everyone in English. Main bas katt liya paaji wahan se (I just left the place). I said thank you, just click the photos please,” he continued.
Diljit also mentions that he’s working on his Hindi and English. “See, if I get offered a Hinglish film, I cannot really take it up. When I do a Punjabi film, I am able to take a scene, interpret it my way and offer variations. I already struggle with Hindi because of my limited vocabulary. I try to watch Hindi films, pick up a word or an expression but usually, I end up delivering the dialogue I have been given. You cannot do your best unless you have control on the language. But I am not going to let this pass… I am already working towards improving my Hindi and I am not going to die an English illiterate.”
