Punjabi singing sensation Diljit Dosanjh dedicated his Chandigarh concert to D Gukesh, praising the newly crowned world chess champion for turning his dream into a reality. 

Indian Grandmaster Gukesh on Thursday became the youngest world chess champion at 18 years after beating title-holder Ding Liren from China. 

Diljit, who performed a show in Chandigarh on Saturday as part of his Dil-Luminati India Tour 2024, shared a video from his speech on his official Instagram page. 

"Tonight's concert is dedicated to the world chess champion Gukesh. Do you know why it is dedicated to him? Because whatever you dream of in life, Gukesh has already dreamt of it and made it a reality. He became the world champion," the actor-singer said in the clip. 

At the concert, Diljit also recreated Telugu superstar Allu Arjun's signature pose from his blockbuster film franchise Pushpa

The 40-year-old singer asked the audience if they had seen Pushpa 2: The Rule, the recently released sequel to 2021's Pushpa: The Rise

"Did you watch the film Pushpa? I seen the first film, but haven't watched the second part yet. There is this famous dialogue Jhukega nahi saala. Saala nahi jhukega toh kya jeeja jhuk jayega?" he quipped, referencing Arjun's popular catchphrase from the movie. -- PTI
