Diljit Dosanjh has carved a unique space for himself in the worlds of music and cinema with his artistic talent. Today, he is not just a household name in India but a globally recognised star. Currently in the middle of his AURA World Tour 2026, the singer-actor is performing across North America. Amid this, a new report has surfaced claiming that Dosanjh no longer holds an Indian passport.
Diljit Dosanjh no longer an Indian citizen
According to a report by The Indian Express, Diljit, who was born in Punjab, reportedly acquired US citizenship in 2022 and has been travelling on an American passport since September that year.
The report further claims that the singer, who spends a majority of his time abroad, now visits India on an e-visa. Dosanjh’s last Indian passport was reportedly issued in Mumbai in 2018, while an earlier passport was issued in Zambia.
As per the report, Diljit’s wife, Sandeep Kaur, is also reportedly a US citizen. It further states that while securing his citizenship, Diljit listed a five-bedroom bungalow in California as his residential address. However, the actor-singer has not yet publicly responded to the claims regarding a change in citizenship.

Re-sharing a newspaper article on X, Diljit wrote, “Kadey V Nhi (Never)… Mera kam entertainment karna (My job is to entertain)… Am very happy in my field. Thank you so much.”
