Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh is set to make a return to 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', two years after his debut appearance, with early glimpses suggesting a lively episode filled with music, dance and entertainment.

Diljit shared the update on Instagram, posting a video from the show's studio that offered fans a sneak peek into his upcoming appearance.

In the clip, his team is seen opening a studio door and asking, "Kya lagta tha nahi lautenge?"

The camera then pans to Diljit, who says, "Kaha tha na ke ek baar Punjabi aa jayein toh chethi nahi jaate... Jimmy Fallon aa gaye oye." The video features music from his latest track Morni.

Clips shared by the show's official Instagram handle further tease the episode, showing Diljit teaching host Jimmy Fallon some Bhangra steps.

The duo is seen dancing together, laughing and enjoying the moment, hinting at a light-hearted and energetic segment.

Diljit also revealed via Instagram Stories that Fallon sent him a handwritten thank-you note, expressing gratitude for his return to the show.

The singer-actor first appeared on The Tonight Show in 2024, where he performed his hit tracks G.O.A.T. and Born to Shine. Introduced as the "biggest Punjabi artist on the planet," Diljit impressed audiences with his stage presence and signature Bhangra performance in a traditional white dhoti kurta and turban.

The latest preview has sparked strong buzz on social media, with fans expressing excitement over his return to the popular late-night show.

Meanwhile, Dosanjh was last seen in Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Nidhi Dutta, JP Dutta and Krishan Kumar, alongside Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty, with Mona Singh, Anya Singh, Medha Rana and Sonam Bajwa in supporting roles.

He will next appear in Imtiaz Ali's 'Main Vaapas Aaunga', set against the backdrop of the 1947 Partition.

The film, which also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Sharvari Wagh and Vedang Raina and is scheduled for a theatrical release on June 12.

This marks Diljit's second collaboration with Imtiaz Ali after the 2024 film 'Amar Singh Chamkila.'

I loved his first appearance in 2024, and now this is even better! The way he says "Jimmy Fallon aa gaye oye" with that swag is pure gold. But honestly, I hope he gets more screen time this time. Western audiences need to see more of our talent!

Diljit is doing for Punjab what Ravi Shankar did for Indian classical music globally. His confidence and authenticity are unmatched. But can we talk about that turban and dhoti kurta look? Absolute class! 👑

It's wonderful to see Diljit getting this love internationally, but I wish our own media and award shows gave him the same respect instead of chasing Bollywood stars. The man is a legend. However, with 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' releasing on June 12, I hope it does well at the box office.

Diljit Dosanjh teaching Jimmy Fallon bhangra is the crossover episode we didn't know we needed! 🤣 His confidence is infectious. But I'm also excited for 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' - a film about Partition with Naseeruddin Shah? That's going to be powerful.

Diljit is truly the pride of India! Watching him on The Tonight Show makes me tear up. He's so humble and rooted. And Jimmy Fallon learning bhangra shows how our culture is being appreciated globally. 🙏
