Karan Aujla shares a glimpse of his packed gig: Used to pray for times like this
Mumbai, May 13
Punjabi singing star Karan Aujla has penned a note of gratitude, sharing a glimpse of a packed concert and saying he used to pray for times like this.
Sharing a video of himself performing on stage with a stadium brimming with people. In the clip, the "Boyfriend" hitmaker is seen performing on stage, and the torch lights are twinkling in the wrist bands of the fans.
For the caption, Karan wrote: "USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS... AUJLA AUJLA BABY DO YOUR THANGGGGG (sic)."
Karan, who is tagged as "Geetan Di Machine", had a similar experience in his Delhi show, which turned out to be a superhit gig in March. The singer performed to a packed audience at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
Back then, the singer, whose real name is Jaskaran Singh Aujla, said that the recent gig is a testament to the dream that he once saw as a young boy in a village. He had made history with his P-POP CULTURE India Tour.
Talking about the same, Karan, who is based in Canada and is primarily associated with Punjabi music, had said that it was a night of celebration of culture.
"And a moment where we all connected through the one language of love, passion and unity. To see all of Delhi show up and celebrate with me, feeling the energy live, was truly humbling. Delhi, you made history with me tonight, and this is just the beginning of the P-POP CULTURE revolution."
The "God Damn" hitmaker added: "Pind ton ithe tak, eh ikk sapna hai jo sach ho giya (From the village to here, a dream has come true)".
Karan is known for his numerous tracks which have charted on the UK Asian chart published by the Official Charts Company, while seven have charted on the Global YouTube music chart.
His debut album Bacthafucup peaked at number 20 on Billboard Canadian Albums chart and 34th on the New Zealand albums chart.
Aujla started as a songwriter for Jassi Gill's "Range", from his album Replay. In 2016, he released his debut song "Property of Punjab". He gained the limelight with his tracks like "Yaarian Ch Fikk", "Unity", "Alcohol 2", and "Lafaafe"; subsequently, he achieved mainstream popularity in 2018 with "Don't Worry", his first song to enter UK Asian chart.
In 2020, his singles "Jhanjar", "Red Eyes" and "Kya Baat Aa" entered top 10 in the chart, while "So Far" entered top 5.

Honestly, while I’m happy for his success, I wish the lyrics were a bit more meaningful sometimes. Still, can’t deny his journey from village to stadium is inspiring. Dil jeet liya Karan ne! 👏
Never heard of him until this news, but his story is impressive. From village dreams to giant crowds—that's universal. Respect from Canada. 🌎
The Delhi show was absolutely LOUD! I was there and the energy was unreal. When he said "Pind ton ithe tak" everyone lost their minds. Aujla is the new king of Punjabi stage. 🕺
I used to listen to Karan back when he released "Don't Worry" in 2018. To see him packing Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium just 6 years later is unreal. His voice resonates with the younger generation. Big ups! 🔥
I appreciate his success, but why do we keep hyping singers who primarily promote drinking and casual lyrics? Our youth deserves more substance. That said, the showmanship is undeniable. Just my opinion.
