Toronto: Diljit Dosanjh has been captivating audiences worldwide with his music, even catching the attention of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Diljit posted a video showing Trudeau shaking hands with him and greeting his dance crew amid chants of "Trudeau, Trudeau," to which the Prime Minister responded with "Diljit, Diljit."
Trudeau also shared photos from the event, writing, "Stopped by the Rogers Centre to wish @diljitdosanjh good luck before his show." He praised Diljit for his achievement, saying, "Canada is a great country — one where a guy from Punjab can make history and sell out stadiums. Diversity isn’t just our strength. It’s a super power."
Nearly 50,000 people attended Diljit's concert at the Rogers Centre on Saturday, which was part of his Dil-Luminati tour that concluded in Toronto.
