Reposting an article about the achievement, Diljit added his popular track "Born To Shine" to express his emotions. In another story, he featured his new song "Don," further celebrating this milestone.

Dosanjh claimed the top spot thanks to his chart-topping tracks, successful film projects, international collaborations, and his highly successful Dil-Luminati Tour. He also received widespread praise for his role in the critically acclaimed film “Amar Singh Chamkila.”

The Jatt & Juliet 3 actor surpassed last year's top contender, Shah Rukh Khan, securing the top spot in the 2024 edition of the list published by UK weekly Eastern Eye. The list was unveiled earlier this month.

The India leg of the tour began in Delhi on October 26 and has already seen successful performances in Jaipur, Lucknow, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad. On Thursday, he performed in Mumbai at the Mahalaxmi Race Course.

Mumbai was initially not on the list of planned cities for the tour, but due to high demand, a show was added. Additionally, two more performances were included—one in Jaipur and another in Delhi.

The 12-city tour will conclude in Guwahati on December 29.
