Diljit Dosanjh doesn’t carry phone: Rana Ranbir

By Jasmine Singh / Connect Newsroom

Popular Punjabi theatre personality and actor Rana Ranbir shared candid observations about Diljit Dosanjh during an exclusive conversation with Connect FM. The two will appear together in the upcoming film Jatt & Juliet 3.

Contrary to the public image of Dosanjh as a constant presence on social media, Rana said the singer-actor is rarely glued to his phone. “I only see him holding his phone occasionally. Whether during shoots or otherwise, you won’t find Diljit immersed in his phone,” he remarked.

He added, with a smile, that while Dosanjh does enjoy creating the occasional funny reel, he spends little time scrolling or posting.

The comment offers a different picture of one of Punjabi entertainment’s biggest stars, whose digital presence is followed by millions worldwide. For many fans in Surrey and across Canada’s Punjabi diaspora, the revelation challenges assumptions about celebrity life, showing that even social media icons maintain balance offline.

Film industry observers say such habits reflect a growing awareness among Punjabi actors that authenticity matters more than constant visibility, especially in connecting with audiences at home and abroad.
