Diljit took to Twitter to mention that his priority is to help the country.

“I'm committed to donating Rs 20 lakh to the PM-CARES Fund. Our priority now should be to help our country get through this tough time. #TogetherWeCan,” he tweeted.

“People from all walks of life expressed their desire to donate to India's war against COVID-19. Respecting that spirit, the Prime Minister's Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund has been constituted. This will create a healthier India,” PM Modi tweeted on Saturday.

‘It’s a matter of great pride for any actor when his/her work strikes a chord with the fans. It reassures that I am headed down the right path. I will continue to choose characters and do roles that are daunting and push me out of my comfort zone. In this year itself, I have some great films which have been great learning experiences for me.’
