‘Kya lagta tha nahi lautenge?’
Ahead of his appearance on the show, Diljit had taken to his Instagram to share the update with a short video.

“Kaha tha na ke ek baar Punjabi aa jayein toh chethi nahi jaate… Jimmy Fallon aa gaye oye (We told you, once a Punjabi shows up, they don’t leave in a hurry. We are here at Jimmy Fallon’s),” he says, as he pulls out some Bhangra moves, grooving to his latest track “Morni.”
