HONG KONG – Diljit Dosanjh turned his Hong Kong debut on the Aura Tour into a night of big beats, warm moments, and shared emotion. Playing to a full house at AXA Wonderland on 28 September, the Punjabi star delivered a powerful show, then won hearts with an impromptu dance with a young fan and a heartfelt appeal for fellow singer Rajvir Jawanda, who is critically ill after a serious motorcycle crash.
The Aura 2025 World Tour, tagged as “Not just a tour, an aura,” brought Dosanjh to Hong Kong for the first time. Thousands packed the venue to see the global performer at close range. Fresh off sold-out dates across North America and Europe, the Emmy-nominated artist, praised for Netflix’s Amar Singh Chamkila, backed up the hype.
The production featured striking visuals, sharp choreography, and a setlist stacked with favourites, including Lover, Born to Shine, and G.O.A.T. Tickets ranged from HK$1,390 to HK$2,190 and sold out fast, a sign of his growing pull with international audiences for Punjabi music.
Diljit Dosanjh’s Sweet Gesture
One of the night’s sweetest scenes arrived during Ikk Kudi. A small fan named Vera, dressed in white, joined Diljit Dosanjh on stage for a hug. He crouched to meet her, matched her skips and twirls, and kept singing without missing a beat.
As she edged near the front of the stage, the 40-year-old star guided her back with care, then picked her up to keep her safe while the crowd cheered. “He is making sure she does not fall,” wrote one viewer online, echoing a flood of praise across social media.
Diljit Dosanjh later posted the clip on Instagram, writing, “I don’t have words. HONG KONG was the Best Night. Bahut Pyaar.” Vera’s mother replied, thanking him for bringing her daughter on stage, calling it a breathtaking moment for their family. Fans called the pair “innocence personified” and applauded Dosanjh for keeping his focus on the child and the performance at the same time.
The mood shifted when Diljit Dosanjh paused the show to speak about Rajvir Jawanda. The 32-year-old singer from Ludhiana, known for Kali Jawande Di, Mera Dil, and Sardari, was admitted to Fortis Hospital in Mohali on 27 September after a crash near Baddi in Himachal Pradesh. Reports said he suffered severe head and spine injuries, a cardiac arrest, and remained on a ventilator, leaving the Punjabi music scene in shock.
Prayer for Rajvir Jawanda
Addressing the crowd in Hindi, Diljit Dosanjh called Jawanda a dear brother and a great artist, known for his live shows and clean record. He asked fans to pray for his recovery and return to the stage, adding that heartfelt prayers carry power. The arena fell quiet as thousands joined him in a moment of collective hope.
His onstage appeal echoed an earlier Instagram message, “Praying for @rajvirjawandaofficial Veera. Just Heard About The Accident News.” Support has poured in from across the industry, with artists like Gurdas Maan, Ammy Virk, and Guru Randhawa posting their prayers.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann visited Fortis on 29 September, noting a slight improvement while confirming Jawanda was still unconscious. He said the singer’s heart and other organs were not functioning properly on arrival, and that recovery remained uncertain.
As the Asia-Pacific run moves to Bangkok and other cities, the Hong Kong stop captured what makes Dosanjh stand out. He lifts arenas with energy, looks out for fans young and old, and shows up for his peers when it matters. In a field full of bright lights, this night felt personal, generous, and unforgettable.
