While Diljit's professional life is much talked about, only a little about his personal life is known. The singer cum actor likes to keep his personal life under wraps, but this time around, he spilt some beans about the same.
Diljit Dosajh's innocent approach towards life is one of the main reasons why people love him, and in a recent anecdote he shared, we could understand that the singer has always been the same. In an interview with Raj Shamani, Diljit revealed that he ran away from his house at the mere age of eight, that too for a girl. Talking about the incident, Diljit shared:
"I tried to run away from my home at at the age of 8. There was a girl in my school, because of her I tried to run away from my house. When I was in school, my seniors were randomly asking all of us, 'Tereko kaun ladki pasand hai?' I pointed towards this girl and said, 'I like her.' So my senior was like, 'Go confess it to her and then you will get married to her only.' I was like okay. I went to the girl and told her that you and I will get married. She went and complained to my teacher and my teacher was like 'Go get your parents.' For me, it was the end of the world."

Diljit added that after the teacher called his parents, he got scared and decided to leave home. So he packed two bananas and some fruits and decided to leave on his bicycle. But his escape was short-lived, as a vigilant villager spotted him and sent him back home. After this, he made excuses for not going to school for the next two days, and subsequently, the teacher let go of the topic. In Diljit's words:
"So, the 8-year-old me opened the fridge, picked two bananas, some other fruits, took my cycle and just left. I just went, say, five minutes away from my house when one of the villagers just yelled at me, 'Where are you going? Go back to your home.' Earlier, in villages, it was never like nobody apart from parents can yell at you. It was very common for the villagers to yell and shout at kids in the village, they were all like a family, they sometimes even slapped. So, this man made me return home when I tried to leave. Then, the next day, I lied about a stomach ache and skipped school for two days. Then my teacher also let me go."
During the same episode of Raj Shamani's podcast, Figuring Out, Diljit Dosanjh, known for his candidness, shared a personal insight. When the topic of his love life came up, he revealed a surprising truth: his first love is himself. In his native Punjabi, he expressed his belief in the importance of self-love before loving others. He said:
"I love myself, bro. I love myself like crazy, main apne aap nu bahut pyaar karda. Toh mujhe lagta hai pehla pyaar toh main hi hoon mera. Mera pehla pyaar main hi hoon."
