Diljit Dosanjh talks about KKR, Shah Rukh Khan
The video began with Diljit shouting Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo, the slogan of KKR. He then said, “Yeh bohut acchi tagline hai. Yeh KKR ki hai? Badi pyaari tagline hai. Especially Shah Rukh Khan sir ki team hai toh waese acchi lagni thi hume kyuki hum sir k fan hai. Toh yeh bada accha mantra bhi hai ki aap apni mehnat kare, lade apne saath or chahe jeete na jeeteh yeh baad ki baat hai (This is a very good tagline. Is this KKR’s? It’s very nice. Anyway, we would have liked it especially because it is of Shah Rukh Khan sir’s team and we are his fans. It’s a very good mantra that you work hard, fight, and whether you win or not, that’s a different matter).”
“Humara farz hai 100 per cent dena. Aap 100 percent mehnat karte hai toh obviously jeet ke paas koi option nahi reh jata. Toh yeh bada accha slogan hai (It’s our duty to give our 100 per cent. If you work hard 100 per cent, then obviously there is no other option than to win. So this is a very slogan).”
