Punjabi sensation and international music icon Diljit Dosanjh made headlines once again, but this time not just for his electrifying performance. At his sold-out concert in Chandigarh on Saturday night, the star paid a heartfelt tribute to India's rising chess prodigy and World Chess Champion, Gukesh Dommaraju.
The concert, part of Dosanjh’s ongoing world tour, saw thousands of fans gather at Chandigarh’s Sector 24 Exhibition Ground. Amid the vibrant beats and high-energy performances, Dosanjh paused the show to acknowledge the 18-year-old chess maestro from Chennai, who recently claimed the title of World Chess Champion.
“Tonight is not just about music,” Dosanjh told the crowd. “It’s about celebrating the pride of India. Gukesh Dommaraju, a young mind who has made the whole nation proud, deserves all our love and respect. This show is dedicated to him. He made his dream come true.”
The audience erupted in applause as Dosanjh shared a few words about Gukesh’s journey, highlighting his meteoric rise in the world of chess. Gukesh recently became the youngest player in history to break into the world’s top 10 chess rankings, dethroning legendary players and bringing global attention to Indian chess.
Social media quickly lit up with clips from the concert, with hashtags like #DiljitTribute and #GukeshDommaraju trending nationwide.
The Chandigarh concert was not just a musical extravaganza but a heartfelt reminder of how art and achievement can unite a nation in celebration.
