Diljit Dosanjh, a self-confessed food lover, recently spent time in Punjab, and naturally, he didn't limit himself to just one or two treats. In a new Instagram video, the singer-actor captured his reactions as he relished an array of delicious local dishes. The clip opens with Diljit proudly showing off his hometown and village, offering fans a virtual tour of his weekend escape at a grand, vintage mansion. Clearly in his element, the foodie in him can be heard playfully requesting, “Hey, put some soda in the milk, the boys have arrived. Oh wow! What a vintage and old mansion. Aao Kabhi Haveli Pe (Come to my mansion sometime).”

He then talks about his huge luggage, takes blessings from the elderly woman present, wonders about his king-size bed, and appears completely amused by the vintage setup.
The scene quickly transitions to his lavish lunch. He can be seen sitting outdoors in a casual setting. As he begins to unravel his lunch menu, he shows a small bowl containing what appears to be a fruit salad with several metal tiffin boxes placed in front of him.
Following this, as the singer opens the container one by one, he shares, “The farmer's son is happy to see the pickle from Delhi,” but finds the potatoes, peas, and carrot sabji “sour”. Afterwards, he also talks about indulging in the first saag of this season alongside maize roti. “Someone has said it right that the gates of heaven are open for you,” revealing the satisfying taste of sarson da saag and makki di roti. Not to miss the wholesome amount of fat he added to this plate, which is worth drooling over.
However, he also shares, “We're going to eat roti with sugar,” which is followed by a glass of delectable buttermilk, then sewaiya, and many other mouth-watering dishes. After enjoying a scrumptious lunch, Diljit can be seen relaxing in front of a fireplace, making full use of his time.
