Introduced by Jimmy Fallon himself as “the biggest Punjabi artist on the planet,” Diljit took the stage and sent the audience into a frenzy.
Dressed in his signature blend of tradition and luxury – a crisp white Punjabi attire with a matching turban – Diljit delivered a powerhouse performance. He belted out his hits “Born to Shine” and “G.O.A.T.,” leaving the crowd wanting more.

But amidst the infectious energy and cultural exchange, one accessory couldn’t be ignored: the extravagant watch adorning Diljit’s wrist. This custom-made Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, designed by Jain The Jeweler and encrusted with diamonds, reportedly costs a staggering ₹1.2 crore (12 million dollars). The watch perfectly complemented Diljit’s style, a fusion of heritage and high-end fashion.
True to his playful personality, Diljit even made a slight lyric change in “G.O.A.T.,” replacing “Bollywood” with “Hollywood” in a nod to his American audience, drawing a laugh and a point towards Fallon.

The energy didn’t stop there. After a roaring performance, Fallon joined Diljit on stage, clearly impressed. “That is how you do it!” he declared, echoing the sentiments of fans worldwide. Anticipation only grew when The Tonight Show shared backstage videos showcasing a hilarious cultural exchange. Diljit, ever the charmer, took it upon himself to teach Fallon some Punjabi phrases. The internet went wild watching Fallon attempt Diljit’s iconic catchphrase “Punjabi Aa Gaye Oye,” though he fared better with the traditional greeting “Sat Sri Akal.”
