I feel truly honoured that Amar Singh Chamkila, an artist from Punjab, is being recognised and talked about at a global level on such a prestigious stage like the International Emmys.

About Amar Singh Chamkila

Amar Singh, who was born in a Dalit family in Punjab, used to work in a sock manufacturing factory as a teenager, whereas his heart and soul were wrenched in creating music. He finally chose to break the shackles and started building contacts with musicians in the state with the help of his acquaintances. He soon started singing with Amarjot Kaur, and the duo rose to fame, but his brash lyrics also ignited fury across Punjab. This led to his brutal criticism, and both he and Amarjot were shot to death at the peak of their career.

The film starring Diljit as the titular character is directed by Imtiaz Ali. It was released on Netflix on April 12 last year.

The International Emmy Awards will take place on November 24 in New York City.
