Some time ago, there were reports that Diljit Dosanjh Have U.S. citizenship. However, the singer and actor never clarified this. In a recent Instagram live, the question about Diljit Dosanjh’s US citizenship resurfaced, but the actor-singer avoided giving a direct answer. Instead, when he was discussing the controversy surrounding the removal of his film Satluj in India, a fan suggested that he apply for a US green card, to which he responded in a humorous manner.Diljit laughed and said, “I will take a card and color it green. I won’t say anything. Sab chhodke ye news ban jayegi (People will drop everything and thereby make headlines). It will not be like this. The drama of the world will never end. But I believe everyone should be allowed to travel to any country without having to do so.”In another live interaction, a fan jokingly asked him to have a call with the President of the United States. Donald Trump and help everyone obtain U.S. citizenship.Digit laughed: “What do you think of me? I’m just an entertainer, how can I ask him to solve the citizenship issue? His daughter followed me, but I never talked to her. I never asked anyone for help. If something is destined to happen, it will happen. If not, then not.”A few months ago, The Indian Express reported that Diljit became a US citizen in 2022 and had been traveling on a US passport since September 1 of that year. According to reports, his last Indian passport was issued in Mumbai in 2018. The report also claimed that his wife Sandeep Kaur is a US citizen and while acquiring US citizenship, Diljit listed a five-bedroom bungalow in an upscale California community as his residence. The actor-singer has neither publicly confirmed nor denied the claims.A U.S. Green Card confers Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status, allowing an individual to live, work, and study in the United States without the need for a temporary visa or employer sponsorship. After meeting residency and other eligibility requirements, it can ultimately lead to U.S. citizenship. Since U.S. citizens do not require a green card, Diljit’s breezy response only fueled further speculation about his citizenship.The Instagram Live session was mainly to address the controversy surrounding “Satluj”, which was pulled from ZEE5 within 48 hours of its release in India. The film spent nearly three years overcoming censor board certification hurdles before hitting streaming platforms. During the interaction, Diljit urged the audience to watch the film and described it as an important chapter in the history of Punjab and India. The film is based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, who documented the alleged illegal cremation of thousands of unidentified bodies in and around Amritsar during the militancy period before being abducted and killed.
