Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh has distanced himself from the ongoing protest by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar here, saying he is an artiste, not a politician.
The "Main Vaapas Aaunga" actor on Wednesday evening held a Instagram live session where he answered the many queries of his fans. Asked whether he would join the CJP's protest over the alleged irregularities in exams and the NEET paper-leak controversy, Diljit said "Keep me away from all this... Bro, I'm an artist. I'm no politician, I
don't know what you think I am."
He then quoted a popular phrase from the Guru Granth Sahib -- "Nanak dukhiya sab sansar, so sukhiya jis naam aadhaara", which means everyone in the world is dealing with sadness, only those who rely on God are happy. "Look, everything can never be right.
Everything in this world can never be right... So, those who are protesting, congratulations to them, and for whom the protest is happening, congratulations to them also, as I don't know anything," he added.
