Do not disturb Diljit Dosanjh. The singer is busy welcoming 2026 with a solo trip to an undisclosed location. While the getaway looks peaceful, it did come with a small hiccup. Diljit was hit by a cough and a runny nose during the trip. Instead of reaching for medicines right away, the singer decided to rely on good old desi nuskhas. How do we know this? Diljit himself shared everything on his Instagram Stories, giving fans a front-row seat to his home-style remedies. In fact, he shared not one, but two traditional fixes to tackle cough and cold.

The first remedy involved cooking black poppy seeds with shredded coconut, jaggery powder, and ghee. Showing the cooked mixture, the singer explained that it is effective in dealing with cough and runny nose. He also added a warning in his trademark humorous style, saying it should be eaten in limited quantity – or else it might lead to diarrhoea.
