Mumbai (Showbiz Desk) — The music video for Indian Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh’s new song Devil has become a center of attention on social media, featuring scenes of protests and tension between police and demonstrators.
The video shows large numbers of people protesting and holding placards carrying messages such as “Save Our Future” and “Our Future, Our Fight.”
Although Diljit Dosanjh has not named any specific protest or organization in the song or video, some viewers have linked the scenes to the student protests held in July.
In the video, Diljit is shown standing among a crowd of protesters. Meanwhile, tensions escalate between police and demonstrators, with scenes of clashes also shown.
Towards the end of the video, a young girl holding a white rose approaches a police officer. The officer also steps forward and embraces the girl.
At the end of the video, the message “Do not try this at home” appears, followed by the words, “I am an artist, brother.”
After the protest scenes emerged, a debate broke out among social media users over whether Diljit Dosanjh’s video is connected to the recent student protests or is simply a creative presentation.
