Diljit Dosanjh has reportedly been travelling on a United States passport since acquiring US citizenship in 2022, according to a report by The Indian Express. The disclosure has sparked widespread discussion because the globally popular Punjabi singer-actor remains closely associated with Punjab’s cultural identity and recently rejected calls to enter state politics. The report claimed Dosanjh has been entering India on an e-visa since September 2022, indicating he may no longer hold Indian citizenship or an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card. It further stated that he used his US passport during his latest India visit. The development has intensified debate online over nationality, identity, diaspora influence, and celebrity politics in Punjab. (PC: Instagram/ Diljit Dosanjh)
