Diljit Dosanjh Birthday: Sonam Bajwa, Imtiaz Ali, Suniel Shetty Shower Love Ahead of Border 2 Release

Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh celebrated his birthday on January 6, drawing heartfelt wishes from colleagues and admirers across the Hindi and Punjabi film industries. As one of the most popular crossover artists in Indian cinema today, Diljit’s special day was marked by warm tributes from actors, filmmakers and co-stars, highlighting both his professional success and personal warmth.

Among the prominent names who extended birthday greetings was Suniel Shetty, who shared an emotional message on social media praising Diljit not just for his talent, but also for his character. In his note, Shetty wished Diljit continued success in music and cinema, while also thanking him for supporting his son, Ahan Shetty, with warmth and guidance. The message reflected the strong bond that has developed between the two actors while working together on their upcoming project.

Punjabi star Sonam Bajwa also joined in the celebrations by posting a throwback picture with Diljit on her Instagram stories. Calling him “the man who rules hearts worldwide,” Sonam wished him a blessed year ahead. The two share a strong rapport and are set to appear together in the much-anticipated war drama Border 2, which has already generated significant buzz ahead of its release.

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, who previously collaborated with Diljit on the acclaimed biographical drama Amar Singh Chamkila, shared a behind-the-scenes photograph from the sets. His message reflected admiration for Diljit’s spirit and positivity, wishing him continued happiness and “chardikala,” a term often associated with high morale and optimism in Punjabi culture.

Diljit’s birthday celebrations coincided with growing excitement around Border 2, one of the biggest Bollywood releases scheduled around Republic Day. Directed by Anurag Singh and produced by JP Dutta and Nidhi Dutta, the film features a powerful ensemble cast including Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Sonam Bajwa and Ahan Shetty.

Recently, the makers unveiled the song Ghar Kab Aaoge at a special event held in Tanot, Jaisalmer. The track is a reimagined version of the iconic song from the 1997 classic Border and blends original vocals with new renditions, including Diljit’s voice. The song aims to honour the sacrifices of Indian soldiers and evoke a strong sense of patriotism ahead of Republic Day.

Speaking at the launch, Sunny Deol reflected on the emotional legacy of the song and its connection with audiences over generations. Varun Dhawan spoke about how the original track left a lasting impression on him, while Ahan Shetty shared his emotional connection to the project, given that the original Border featured his father, Suniel Shetty.

With Border 2 slated for a nationwide theatrical release on January 23, Diljit Dosanjh enters his birthday year riding high on both critical acclaim and commercial anticipation. The outpouring of wishes from the industry underlines his journey from a Punjabi music icon to a pan-Indian star, whose influence now spans music, cinema and popular culture.
