Karan Aujla just added another milestone to his resume — shutting down the stage at the IPL 2025 Opening Ceremony this week.

Watch Here:

🎤 The Vibe: Big, Bold, and Punjabi

It’s major seeing a Punjabi artist command a stage like this — repping the culture loud and clear on one of the world’s biggest sporting stages. From the lighting to the live band to Aujla’s trademark attitude, every moment felt bigger than music.

🎶 The Setlist & Special Moment with Disha Patani

Aujla didn’t hold back. He tore through bangers like “Softly”, mixing old favourites with new heat. And right in the middle of the performance, fans went wild when he was joined on stage by Disha Patani — the two recreated a moment from their recent “Tell Me” video collab, giving the crowd a crossover vibe you rarely see live.

That link-up was one of the night’s biggest surprises — Desi pop culture, Bollywood glamour, and street Punjabi energy all in one frame. Pure stadium fireworks.

🌍 A Big Win for the Culture

Beyond the music, this was proof that Punjabi artists now belong on any stage, anywhere. Karan kept it real — live dhols, heavy bass, and Bhangra dancers moving to the beat while keeping that big Desi vibe front and center. No watered-down crossover — just raw Punjabi swagger on cricket’s biggest night.
