Diljit Dosanjh Donates KBC Winnings to Punjab Flood Relief After Bachchan Gesture Draws SFJ Threat

He says he used the show to draw national attention to Punjab’s flood relief rather than to promote a project.

Overview

  • Dosanjh’s Kaun Banega Crorepati appearance aired on October 31 after a promo showed him touching host Amitabh Bachchan’s feet.
  • Sikhs for Justice, described in reports as a banned Khalistani group, condemned the gesture, linked Bachchan to the 1984 violence, and warned it would disrupt Dosanjh’s November 1 Australia concert, though no disruption was confirmed at publication.
  • On Instagram, Dosanjh said he joined the show to encourage donations for flood-hit Punjab, stating he was not there to promote a film or song.
  • He won Rs 50 lakh and, according to reporting, announced he would donate the full amount to support Punjab flood victims through a global Sikh organisation.
  • Coverage highlighted competing accounts of 1984 casualties, with SFJ citing more than 30,000 deaths and government records noting about 2,800 in Delhi and over 3,300 across India.
