Punjabi rockstar Diljit Dosanjh, who recently made headlines with his Dil-Luminati tour across Canada and the United States, has recently been embroiled in a major controversy. On Friday, July 19, the Punjabi singer's team was accused of withholding the payment of the background dancers who had a pivotal role in the success of his latest tour. In a long note, Rajat Rocky Batta, an LA-based choreographer and the owner of RRB Dance Company, accused Diljit Dosanjh of non-payment. Now, the singer's manager, Sonali Singh, has come forward and reacted to the ongoing controversy and issued a statement. Has Diljit Dosanjh Not Paid Background Dancers During ‘Dil-Luminati’ Tour?

Taking to her Instagram handle on July 19, Sonali Singh addressed these claims and said, "Just to clarify Rajat Batta, Manpreet Toor and other choreographers who are making statements for Dil-Luminati tour were never a part of the tour. Our official team never contacted Rajat Batta or Manpreet Toor who are presenting false narrative on social media. Rajat and Manpreet were not part of the Diluminati tour in any way."
