In this powerful and unfiltered episode of the Kaka Balli Punjabi Podcast, Gagan Boparai sits down with Ajaydeep Singh Dhaliwal and Ajeet Chahal for one of the most detailed and eye-opening conversations on Punjabi culture, politics, history, and celebrity influence.

This episode explores the world behind India’s biggest game show, Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), the cultural impact of celebrity appearances, and the deeper political narratives that often go unnoticed. We take a closer look at the rising controversy around Diljit Dosanjh’s appearance on KBC, discussing why the timing of this episode has raised so many questions among Punjabis worldwide.

From there, we move into one of the most sensitive and historically significant topics:
Amitabh Bachchan’s alleged connection with the events of 1984, the “Khoon da Badla Khoon” controversy, and his long-standing relationship with the Gandhi family — especially Rajiv Gandhi. This segment provides context, facts, public reactions, and the unanswered questions that continue to shape Punjabi sentiment today.

We also dive into the larger and often hidden conversation about how governments and media ecosystems create celebrities, shape culture, and influence public thinking. From Bollywood’s soft power to influencer-driven youth culture, this episode examines how entertainment is used to control narratives and how Punjabi representation is affected globally.

Our discussion further explores:

• The evolution and impact of KBC on Indian society

• Why Diljit Dosanjh’s role as Punjab’s global representative is both celebrated and questioned

• The influence of modern Punjabi creators on today’s youth

• The blurred lines between culture, politics, and entertainment

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking clarity on Punjab’s cultural identity, historical sensitivities, and the forces that influence public perception. With honesty, depth, and no-filter conversation, we open the doors to discussions rarely touched by mainstream platforms.

Tune in to hear an in-depth perspective that challenges narratives, asks uncomfortable questions, and brings forward a much-needed Punjabi viewpoint.
