Diljit Dosanjh reveals how he got the name 'Aura' for his album
Mumbai, May 27
Punjabi sensation Diljit Dosanjh has shared that the title of his latest album "Aura" came from his fans, who have often hailed the singer for having an "amazing aura".
A video was shared on the photo-sharing website of Diljit talking to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. The two were seen talking about the record-shattering success of the album, which has crossed over 100 million vies and his sold-out stadium concerts in Vancouver.
The video begins with Fallon asking Diljit: "'Aura,' is your latest album. Congratulations on this. It's your 15th studio album. This has been streamed over 100 million times. Where did you come up with Aura?"
To which, Diljit explained: " It's a fan statement. They come on my show. They all say, 'amazing Aura', you have amazing Aura. So that's why I put my album name Aura."
Fallon chuckled and said: "Oh, okay. The fans named it for you" and added: "And here you are with the tour. Congratulations on this. Let's see. First show was in Vancouver?"
The two then talked about Diljit's Vancouver tour, to which the singer said: "Amazing, amazing. Stadium sold out. It was an amazing, amazing show."
The video was captioned: "@diljitdosanjh called his album AURA because his fans kept telling him he had 'amazing aura' #FallonTonight #DiljitOnFallon."
On the acting front, Diljit currently awaits the release of 'Main Vapas Aaunga' by Imtiaz Ali. The film marks Diljit's 2nd collaboration with Ali after the biopic 'Amar Singh Chamkila'.
'Main Vapas Aaunga' is a period romantic drama starring Sharvari, Naseeruddin Shah, and Vedang Raina. The film is set against the backdrop of the 1947 Partition of India, and explores themes of love, separation, migration, and memory.
The narrative is expected to follow a romantic relationship shaped and disrupted by historical upheaval, a recurring motif in Partition-era storytelling. The film also reunites Imtiaz Ali with A. R. Rahman, and his frequent collaborator, lyricist Irshad Kamil.
Jointly backed by the production banners Applause Entertainment, Window Seat Films, and Mohit Choudhary, the film is set to debut in cinemas on June 12, 2026.

Jimmy Fallon's chuckle says it all! Diljit's aura is so real that even Americans get it. This man has taken Punjabi music to the world without losing his roots. So proud! 🇮🇳✨
A 15th album crossing 100 million streams? That's not just talent, that's hard work. But I hope Diljit explores other genres too. He's got the range, but his music is starting to sound a bit similar. Also, excited about 'Main Vapas Aaunga' - Imtiaz Ali + A.R. Rahman is a magical combo.
As a Canadian, I can confirm that Diljit's Vancouver show was insane energy. The stadium was indeed full of fans from all backgrounds singing along. His "aura" is real! 🙌
Love that Diljit credits his fans! That's the kind of connection that makes artists legendary. But I'm most excited about his new film with Imtiaz Ali. The partition love story genre is overdone, but with this cast and Rahman's music, it could be something special. Let's wait and see.
Diljit is proof that you can go global while staying Punjabi at heart. The way he talks about his fans is so endearing. And Jimmy Fallon's reaction shows how genuinely charming he is. 🎶
On another note, 2026 is too far for 'Main Vapas Aaunga'! Why do they
