Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh said he is trying to detach from his physical self and he is striving for a life led by faith, love, and the power of forgiveness.

Addressing hordes of fans at his Aura World Tour concert in Calgary, Canada, on Thursday, the singer talked about his views on life and being fearless toward death.

"I have already left this world. I don't have any fear of death. Last December, I was trying to get out of this body. But I've to do a few more things (before I leave this body). There is nothing to be afraid of. This is not just a matter of Punjab; it is and will always be. I've already left this world; this is the truth. I'm standing on this stage, and this is my God. I have no fear of death," Diljit said in a video circulating on social media from the concert.

The singer-actor said that he has no "animosity" towards anyone and that he only has love for everyone in his heart.

"Love, respect, and forgiveness and I'm trying to bring this into my life as much as I can. Those who are still with me, this is the name of Punjab, I'm Punjab. What do you say," Diljit said.

His comment has sparked concern among people about the singer's mental health.

"Unfortunate how people troll this. Avicii, Chetser Bennington, Amy Winehouse, SSR - so many were lost when they were at the peak of their career. As someone who has battled severe depression while doing exceptionally well in my career, I can attest how hard it feels to get out of bed. I really hope Indians start taking mental health seriously instead of trolling and making it worse," a reddit user wrote.

On the film front, Diljit will next feature in Imtiaz Ali's period romance drama, Main Vaapas Aaunga. The film, also starring Naseeruddin Shah, Vedang Raina, and Sharvari Wagh, is set to release in theatres on June 12.
