<p>The post read, "While we as a Desi Dance Community are really proud of a Desi Artist breaking glass ceilings and doing sold-out tours across North America, I still feel deeply disappointed that Desi Dancers are still undervalued as an industry. All of the Desi Dancers in Diljit's Diluminati Tour were not paid and just expected to perform for free".</p>
<p>"Desi Dance as an industry has become a lifeblood for artists and does a significant part in the entire ecosystem of the industry, while its choreography, stage performances, music videos, reels, to even promoting songs... It's an essential part of production and it's really disappointing to see an artist of this caliber cut corners by stepping on throats of Desi Dancer industry and continuing to attribute to that culture".&nbsp;</p>
<p>He concluded, "Diljit, we are very happy for your success, but your dancers should have been paid and been a part of the production budget".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Punjabi actor and singing sensation Diljit Dosanjh who has taken India to the global stage is currently busy enthralling fans worldwide with his tours. Diljit, who was set to perform at the Rogers Centre, in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, received a surprise visit from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, on the work front, Diljit was last seen in &lsquo;Amar Singh Chamkila&rsquo;. Helmed by Imtiaz Ali, 'Amar Singh Chamkila' presents the untold true story of Punjab's original rockstar of the masses, who emerged from the shadows of poverty and rose to the heights of popularity in the 80s due to the sheer power of his music, angering many along the way, which finally led to his assassination at the young age of 27.&nbsp;</p><p>
