One moment from the interaction especially stood out. Diljit explained a classic Punjabi dance reference linked to old diesel generators. He shared that in rural Punjab, children and villagers often performed Bhangra to the rhythmic sound and vibration of generators during power cuts.
Diljit then jokingly told Jimmy Fallon, “You can do bhangra on any beat… on the generator too”.
