I didn't sing Pant Mein Gun: Diljit Dosanjh

Refuting that he sang Pant Mein Gun, the song from Welcome To

New York

which courted controversy for its alleged "inappropriate lyrics," Diljit Dosanjh says he only danced on it. "I didn't sing that song, I only danced on it," said

Diljit

speaking to us in Chandigarh on Friday. Commenting on the increasing incidents of songs/singers/actors coming in line of fire for "violent, offensive lyrics" and facing gag on creative freedom, Diljit said, "Gabbar Singh was shown with a gun in Sholay so many years back, at a time when guns didn't even feature in films. Kalakar ne chor bhi banna hai, sadhu bhi. If you stop them from portraying roles, then what are we left with? As it is, artists are facing so many issues, and if you can't support us, at least don't pull us down."



Speaking on the rising popularity of Punjabi music, he vied that this is the only regional language to have survived Bollywood. "Indie-pop today has become Punjabi-pop," he said, adding, "Bollywood music individual music ko kha gya hai.

Sirf Punjab

ka music hai jo individual hai and survive kar gya."
When asked about the other 'controversy' that went viral over the net- his fetish for Kylie Jenner, the actor assumed a naïve façade! "I didn't post anything on Kylie, or anyone else for that matter," he defended, hiding a grin, "I only commented on her posts, which I do for lot of other people. I don't know why, log sirf

Kylie wala

hi comment kyu uthatey hain." He added after a pause and smile, "Shayad isliye kyunki mein hamseha dil se comment karta hun!"
