Diljit Dosanjh, who is currently a part of The Rising Star Season 2, has an interesting take on the debate of children reality show robbing off kids from their childhood. 

The singer-actor said, "If children are not on TV shows, they are happily showcasing their talent on various online platforms. So, why blame TV alone? I started my career as a singer at the age of 18 and

social media has played a huge part in it. For small actors who do not have a PR agency, social media is a great platform to connect directly with the audience."

"Television is not the only medium, which is exploring the talent of children. Nor do they become celebs by making appearances or participating only on music reality shows. They are aware of various platforms online, where they can participate and showcase their talent. Today, children are becoming stars thanks to their talent being showcased on social media platforms. Nobody can escape this kind of attention as they are exposed to it at a young age. TV is not damaging or exploiting anything here... it is this current trend that is capturing children's talent and putting them in the spotlight," he added. 

Meanwhile, Diljit Dosanjh will be seen next in a biopic based on former Indian national hockey team captain, Sandeep Singh. The biopic also stars Taapsee Pannu and Angad Bedi in vital roles. 

It is directed by Shaad Ali. Both Diljit and Taapsee had gone through extensive training for their hockey playing skills by strict professionals for the biopic.

The biopic will also revolve around the love story between Taapsee and Diljit. They both are playing the role of hockey players who fall in love.
