Diljit Dosanjh is riding high on waves of success, marked by a series of international concerts, chart-topping albums, and critically acclaimed movie roles. However, for Diljit, money is not everything and this was seen when he gave Karan Johar the right to use ‘Lover’ in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani for free.
Recently, Sucharita Tyagi asked Diljit if this was because he’s good friends with Karan. Diljit said, “I am not friends with anyone as such. If I have worked with someone once and they need something, if I can’t help them then what is the point? If I was a doctor then I would have done his surgery for free (laughs).”
He added, “If one of my music producer friends does a song for me, then I sing a song for them. The only thing that matters is, what can you do for someone you already know? That’s all there is. There is nothing like I gave it for free.”
He said, “Ya voh mereko paise de dete, main kitna ameer ho jata? Unke chalo mann mein aaya yeh achi baat hai. Lekin unko bhi paise ki kami nahi hai aur mujhe bhi koi aisi zyada zarurat nahi hai toh isliye maine kaha ki aap le lo, use kar lo, koi baat nahi (If he paid me, how much richer would I have gotten? He thought about it, that’s a good thing. But he isn’t short of money and I also don’t need much so I said take it, use it.)”
Earlier, Karan Johar had revealed that he “really wanted the interval point (of the film) to be ‘Lover’” but was told that the song was “ridiculously expensive.” However, when Karan asked Diljit, “Paaji, mujhe yeh gaana chahiye (Brother, I want this song),” the singer said, “He said ‘Aap puch kyu rahe ho? Yeh haq banta hai aapka (Why are you asking? It’s your right)’.”
