Diljit Dosanjh brought extra cheer to Kolkata, the “City of Joy,” during his Dil-Luminati India Tour concert on November 30, 2024. The actor-singer delivered a heartfelt message inspired by the slogan of Shah Rukh Khan’s IPL team, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). His tribute not only resonated with fans but also earned a gracious response from SRK himself.
Diljit’s Inspirational Message Rooted in KKR’s Tagline
The day after his electrifying performance, Diljit shared a message on Instagram praising KKR’s famous slogan, “Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo Re.” He described it as a powerful mantra for life, urging people to work hard, overcome challenges, and give their best effort regardless of the outcome. Diljit added, “Being a fan of Shah Rukh Khan sir, it makes the slogan even more meaningful for me. If we give 100%, victory becomes inevitable.”
“Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo Re. This is a very good tagline. This is of Kolkata knight riders. It was a very lovely tagline and specially as it is Shahrukh Khan sir’s team, so it had to be good for us because we are sir’s fans. So this is also a very good mantra that you should work hard, fight with yourself; and whether you win or not it is a matter of fact; it is our duty to give 100 percent. So if you work 100 percent then obviously there is no option left for winning.”

Appreciation for Kolkata and Its Icons
Diljit also expressed admiration for Kolkata, calling it the “City of Joy” and a hub of remarkable personalities. He fondly spoke of Rabindranath Tagore, recounting an anecdote where Tagore humbly credited Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings as a universal anthem. His post featured a sweet tribute in Bengali, “Tomake bhalobashi,” meaning “I love you.”
“It is a matter of great pride for you that you have great personalities, be it spiritual leaders or Rabindranath Tagore ji. I was reading about them. I liked one thing about them. Someone said that if you have written your national anthem, then you should also write the world anthem. His reply was very lovely. He said that Guru Nanak Dev ji had already written it in the 15th century.”
Shah Rukh Khan’s Heartwarming Response
Shah Rukh Khan responded warmly on X (formerly Twitter), thanking Diljit for bringing happiness to Kolkata. SRK’s tweet read:
“Thank you for bringing joy to the City of Joy, @diljitdosanjh Paaji. I’m sure all at @KKRiders and their fans love the Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo reference. All the best and have a great tour… Love u.”
