Diljit addressed the notice served by the Telangana government and said, "When foreign artists come to India, they are allowed to do whatever they like, sing whatever they want, there's no issue... But when an artist from your own country is singing, people have a lot of problems. Some people cannot digest the fact that such big shows are happening, and tickets are getting sold out within two minutes...I've been working for many years now. I did not become famous overnight."
