Diljit Dosanjh says acting is not his forte
In a candid interview with Film Companion, Diljit shared his personal take on acting and fame. Despite his successful foray into acting, Diljit said, "I believe that acting is not my forte; it's a distinct craft. I feel I lack the necessary qualities to be an actor. If an opportunity arises that aligns with my skills and interests, I do consider it, but my main focus is on playing music."
Diljit's natural ease in front of the camera is well-known, yet he admits to moments of self-consciousness. "I often lose awareness of the cameras being there. This is just second nature to me. However, when I do become conscious of them, I feel like I'm being insincere and superficial. The chaos of the set, the crew, and the equipment can sometimes contribute to this feeling of inauthenticity. Those actors who can navigate through all of this are truly remarkable”, he said.
As the interview shifted towards the nuances of dealing with fame, Diljit shared a philosophy that resonates with him deeply. Quoting a line from Amar Singh Chamkila, he said, "Samajhna kuch nahi hota, bas kar jana hota hai," which translates to "Understanding is not necessary, only doing is required."
