Karan Aujla Shares Glimpse of Packed Concert, Says He ‘Used to Pray for Times Like This’
MUMBAI — Punjabi singer Karan Aujla shared a note of gratitude after performing before a packed crowd, saying he once prayed for moments like this.
Aujla posted a video of himself performing on stage before a packed stadium. The clip showed the crowd lighting up the venue with wristband lights as the singer performed.
“USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS… AUJLA AUJLA BABY DO YOUR THANGGGGG (sic),” he wrote in the caption.
Aujla, often called “Geetan Di Machine,” had a similar reception during his Delhi concert in March, when he performed before a packed audience at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium as part of his P-POP CULTURE India Tour.
At the time, Aujla, whose real name is Jaskaran Singh Aujla, said the concert reflected a dream he once had as a young boy from a village. He described the night as a 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,” Aujla said.
The “God Damn” singer added, “Pind ton ithe tak, eh ikk sapna hai jo sach ho giya (From the village to here, a dream has come true).”
Aujla, who is based in Canada and primarily associated with Punjabi music, has had several songs chart on the U.K. Asian chart published by the Official Charts Company. Seven of his tracks have also appeared on the Global YouTube music chart.
His debut album, “Bacthafucup,” peaked at No. 20 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart and No. 34 on the New Zealand albums chart.
Aujla began as a songwriter for Jassi Gill’s “Range,” from the album “Replay.” In 2016, he released his debut song, “Property of Punjab.” He later gained attention with tracks including “Yaarian Ch Fikk,” “Unity,” “Alcohol 2” and “Lafaafe.”
He reached broader popularity in 2018 with “Don’t Worry,” his first song to enter the U.K. Asian chart. In 2020, his singles “Jhanjar,” “Red Eyes” and “Kya Baat Aa” entered the chart’s top 10, while “So Far” reached the top five. (Source: IANS)
