Diljit pointed to his 25-year journey in the entertainment industry, making it clear that outside criticism would not decide how long he continued working. According to the singer, he will step away only when he chooses to do so himself.
He also responded to the perception that his silence on some controversies is a sign he fears criticism. “Not responding to every question or comment should not be taken as fear,” Diljit said.
The singer was adamant he knows the conversations taking place around him, but he doesn’t think every statement deserves a reaction. At the same time, he made it clear that his silence should not be mistaken for weakness or seen as an opportunity to prevent him from continuing his work.
