Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh missed out on the Best Actor award at the 53rd International Emmy Awards 2025, where he was nominated for his performance in Imtiaz Ali’s Amar Singh Chamkila.
The top honour at the 2025 Emmys went to Spanish actor Oriol Pla for Yo, adicto [I, Addict’]. Additionally, Amar Singh Chamkila also fell short in the Best TV Movie/Mini-Series.
Diljit, who won his first-ever International Emmy nomination this year, was seen gracing the red carpet alongside filmmaker Imtiaz Ali and others. The singer-actor made a striking style statement in a shimmery suit jacket paired with a crisp white shirt, a black bow, black trousers, and his signature black turban.
Diljit Dosanjh’s nomination at the 2025 Emmys was seen as a major milestone for the country on a global stage, especially for a film that presented the legacy of Punjab’s iconic singer Amar Singh Chamkila to the world.
Besides Oriol Pla, Diljit was also competing against the likes of David Mitchell for Ludwig and Diego Vasquez for One Hundred Years of Solitude.
Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the film tells the story of Punjab’s iconic folk singer Amar Singh Chamkila, often called the Elvis of Punjab. (ANI)
