A video captures the hilarious moment when Dosanjh tries to teach Fallon the Punjabi language. The musician even makes Fallon say his famous catchphrase “Punjabi aa gaye oye”.
Dosanjh then introduced the host to the Punjabi greeting “Sat Shri Akaal,” which Fallon graciously responded to. The caption accompanying the video read, “Sat Shri Akaal! @diljitdosanjh,” which further adds to the excitement about the upcoming show. Priyanka Chopra, the only other Indian to appear on the show, commented on the video, writing, “This is Oye for me.”
Another video shared by the show’s official Instagram handle shows a stylish glove swap between Dosanjh and Fallon. Dosanjh who usually wears black gloves during performances, was surprised by Fallon bringing him a custom white glove bearing the show’s logo, which led to the swap with Dosanjh’s black glove.
The caption of the video read, “Backstage glove swap with @diljitdosanjh! #DiljitOnFallon #FallonTonight.” On Monday, Dosanjh offered fans a glimpse of ‘The Tonight Show’ studio by sharing a series of photos with the caption, “The Tonight Show @fallontonight @jimmyfallon @nbc sound check done.”
Diljit is currently on the Dil-Luminati tour. He will next be seen in Jatt & Juliet.
