Many are calling the Diljit Dosanjh concert that packed BC Place Saturday night a thrill of a lifetime. That's especially true for one young Surrey boy who ended up being pulled up on stage with the Punjabi superstar. Julia Foy has his story.
The Punjabi superstar played BC Place on Saturday night and Aanakh was ecstatic when he learned his dad had bought tickets. “He’s been counting down the days and he would come home from his Banghara lessons saying, manifesting, visualizing how he’s going to be on stage,” Barinder, Aanakh’s dad, told Global News.More than 46,000 people attended the concert on Saturday night as Dosanjh kicked off his world tour.
“For the first time, we’ve done a sold-out stadium show for one of the international diaspora communities around Vancouver,” Chris May, a spokesperson for BC Place, said.When the Bhullar family scored floor tickets, Aanakh inched closer to his dream of dancing onstage, but his parents were skeptical.“We wanted to prepare him for that not happening,” his mom Seema said. “Just didn’t want to get his hopes up.
“He was like, ‘Come here,’ and then my dad picked me up, he put me over the fence,” Aanakh said. “The picked me up and he gave me to and picked me up. And he put me on the ground and he gave me a kiss.”“He took it off, he put it on me and he said I can keep it forever,” Aanakh said.Promoters said the sold-out concert was a big success, and it’s one Aanakh will never forget.
