Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh showcased his generosity by winning Rs 50 lakh on Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) and pledging the entire amount to aid flood relief in Punjab. His support includes adoption of severely affected villages, focusing on food, medical aid, and long-term rehabilitation.
In a heartwarming gesture of solidarity, Diljit Dosanjh appeared on Amitabh Bachchan’s KBC 17 and correctly answered 14 questions to win Rs 50 lakh. True to his roots, Diljit announced plans to donate the entire sum through a global Sikh organization to assist victims of the devastating 2025 Punjab floods.
The monsoon floods displaced thousands, damaging homes, crops, and infrastructure, especially in Gurdaspur and Amritsar.

Earlier, Diljit had adopted 10 of the worst-hit villages, actively collaborating with local NGOs and authorities to ensure effective aid distribution. His philanthropic vision exemplifies his longstanding commitment to Punjab’s welfare beyond his cinematic and musical success.
