Punjabi singers like Diljit Dosanjh, Karan Aujla, AP Dhillon, and Yo Yo Honey Singh have taken the internet by storm in the past few years. While Diljit brought his Dil-Luminati Tour to India, Yo Yo Honey Singh finally made a comeback with the 'Millionaire' song. Karan Aujla too became India's favourite after his song Tauba Tauba became chartbuster. Last but not least, AP Dhillon continues to create his own style of music and singing in Punjabi. Now, the question arises who is the richest Punjabi singer? The answer is none of the singers discussed above.
As per Koimoi, DIljit Dosanjh is now the highest-paid Punjabi actor. Diljit during the promotion for Jatt & Juliet 3, had revealed that he had visited producer Darshan Singh Grewal to reject the film. However, he was given a blank cheque and asked to fill the sum he demanded. He researched the amount charged by Gurdas Maan and filled in the same amount. The producer ended up paying him one lakh extra. Still, Diljit is not the richest Punjabi actor.
