Singer Diljit Dosanjh’s fan following is not just limited to India with the star commanding massive fan armies in various countries. And his international popularity was on display in Switzerland where a group of Europeans were caught grooving to the Punjabi singer's beats.
Dosanjh’s track G.O.A.T. was widely popular in India and fans loved the peppy pop number in the singer's charachteristic croon. But who would have thought the song would end up as a popular track in Europe too? A recent video that has been going viral online shows a group of women practicing bhangra steps to the beats of the hit Punjabi song.
The video was posted online by Indian Foreign Service Officer Gurleen Kaur, who captioned it, “When Europeans groove on @diljitdosanjh’s G.O.A.T! Indian Bhangra in #Switzerland by @karanvir_in.”
