Superstar Priyanka Chopra commented on the video, writing, "It's the Oye for me."

Another video shared by the official Instagram handle of the show showcases a stylish glove swap between Dosanjh and Fallon.

Dosanjh who typically wears black gloves during performances was surprised by Fallon bringing him a custom white glove featuring the show's logo, leading to an exchange with Dosanjh's black glove.

In the video, Dosanjh can be seen clad in his traditional Punjabi attire.

The caption of the video reads, "Backstage glove swap with @diljitdosanjh! #DiljitOnFallon #FallonTonight."
