The singer made history by becoming the first Punjabi artist to headline concerts in both the Canadian stadiums -- Vancouver's BC Place and Toronto's Rogers Centre, which have the seating capacity of over 54,000 and 49,000, respectively.

He later shared photographs and videos from his sold out performance where fans can be seen screaming and dancing with joy as he takes to stage.

This is the latest milestone in the singer's growing global popularity. He became the first Punjabi artist to perform at Coachella 2023 and recently made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

He also earned critical praise for his performance as 80s Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila in the biopic directed by Imtiaz Ali.
