Going further in the interview, Sonali Singh shared an incident when Diljit Dosanjh was extremely late for a concert in Jalandhar and they had to land a chopper in a car parking lot. Talking about the same, Sonali revealed that the chopper was booked to avoid the delay but the chopper was itself late and everyone was anxious about what would happen as so many people have been waiting there.
Sonali revealed that much later, the chopper arrived, but due to the delay, the pilot had to land it in a car parking lot. Sonali mentioned that everyone in the audience thought that Diljit was making an entry by landing a chopper, but it was actually unplanned and worked in their favour. In Sonali's words:
"But then the chopper did arrive. The chopper was suppose to land at some other place but since we got so late, the pilot landed the chopper at the car parking right behind the stage. Everybody thought Diljit was making an entry by landing on stage by chopper but that wasn’t the entry we planned. It just worked in our favour. Universe always works in your favour.”
