The championship, which was tied at 6.5-6.5 heading into the final game, concluded with a stellar performance by Gukesh, who secured a 7.5-6.5 victory over Ding Liren, according to FIDE's official website. Diljit also referred to Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa movie's famous dialogue "Jhukega Nahi" in his own way, saying "Saala nahi jhukega toh kya jija jhuk jayega".

'Pushpa 2: The Rule' has taken the box office by storm. It has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of 2024, raking in Rs 1,000 crore worldwide within seven days of its release. Directed by Sukumar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Muttamsetty Media, the film stars Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil reprise their roles as Pushpa Raj, Srivalli, and Bhanwar Singh Shekawat. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann's wife also attend the 'Dil-Luminati' concert in Chandigarh.

Meanwhile, prior to his show, the Chandigarh Commission for Protection of Child Rights (CCPCR) issued an advisory urging him to avoid performing alcohol-themed songs during his live performance. The advisory, issued by CCPCR chairperson Shipra Bansal on Thursday, specifically referenced songs such as 'Patiala Peg', '5 Tara', and 'Case', cautioning against performing even modified versions that promote alcohol, drugs, or violence.

Earlier, on November 15, the Telangana government also served Dosanjh with a legal notice instructing him not to perform songs that promote alcohol, drugs, or violence.
