Diljit Dosanjh, a multifaceted artist recognized for his stellar career in both acting and singing, recently revealed an interesting detail about his involvement in Karan Johar’s “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.” In an interview with Sucharita Tyagi on her YouTube channel, Diljit shared that he offered his song “Lover” to Karan Johar for the film’s background music without charging any fee. The song played a significant role during a crucial scene where Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh’s characters exchange houses.
Diljit explained his decision, emphasizing that he saw no need to charge for the song as Karan Johar had expressed interest in using it. He recounted, “I am not friends with anyone as such. If I have worked with someone once, and they need something, and if I can help them, then what is the point? If I was a doctor, I would have done his surgery for free (laughs). If one of my music producer friends does a song for me, then I sing a song for them. The only thing that matters is what you can do for someone you already know. That’s all there is.”
Diljit further elaborated, stating, “Woh mereko paise de dete, main kitna ameer ho jata? Unke chalo mann mein aaya yeh achi baat hai. Lekin unko bhi paise ki kami nahi hai aur mujhe bhi koi aisi zyada zarurat nahi hai toh isliye maine kaha ki aap le lo, use kar lo, koi baat nahi” (If he paid me, how much richer would I have got? He thought about it, that’s a good thing. But he isn’t short of money and I also don’t need much, so I said take it, use it).
