Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh recently added another feather to his glowing hat as he became the first ever Punjabi to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. While he was lauded by many for depicting the Indian culture in its true form, several netizens trolled Diljit alleging he disrespected the National Flag during his performance at Coachella. Now, the Honsla Rakh actor has hit back at the trolls asking people to not spread negativity.

Stay away from negativity. Music is for everyone).”  However, Diljit’s comment was cut and edited on social media with a hateful message against India and the Indian flag. Many fans came out in his support on the internet.
