Patiala Peg: Diljit Dosanjh Copies Ranbir Kapoor?

Diljit Dosanjh, Punjabi vocalist and actor, has released the music video for his latest single “Patiala Peg.” In the video, he sports a sequin kurta quite reminiscent of Ranbir Kapoor’s ensemble in the song “Dilli Wali Girlfriend” from the Bollywood movie Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Wouldn’t you agree?

Patiala Peg: Diljit Dosanjh

Diljit Dosanjh is regarded as one of Punjab’s hottest acts. He can sing, he can dance, he can act—and he has swag. His fashion choices inspire a generation of boys to experiment with Western looks while sporting a colorful, neat, and well-tied turban.

There is now anticipation to not only hear the songs that Dosanjh is singing, but to also see what he is wearing while he performs. For “Patiala Peg,” that ended up being a white salwar (i.e., Aladdin/parachute pants) and silver sequined kurta (i.e., a long, traditional shirt) topped off with a white pagh— a turban worn by Sikh men.

The outfit fits perfectly into the wedding party atmosphere, adds some flair to Dosanjh’s dance moves, and positively pops on camera!

Dilli Wali Girlfriend: Ranbir Kapoor

Ranbir Kapoor, Bollywood’s naughty bachelor who steals all the girl’s hearts with every on-screen appearance he makes, is the son of two talented and well-known Bollywood stars, and has a lengthy lineage of legendary actors that make up his bloodline. It’s only natural that this young man fell with ease into the film industry himself.

Kapoor’s smooth delivery of dialogue and swift dance moves have placed him among the elite of Hindi cinema’s talent, in turn making him a Bollywood icon for this generation. He is also a style magnet with an open mind and a willingness to try any look thrown his way.

For his film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Ranbir Kapoor played a role that reflected his personality. In the song “Dilli Wali Girlfriend,” the actor is attending his best friend’s wedding, resulting in his Manish Malhotra sequined look. The hue is a soft blue and the sequins are laid out in a chevron pattern which adds a dash of haute couture to the kurta.
