Monali Thakur Invites Diljit Dosanjh to a Bengali Feast, Promises Mishti Doi Treat

Mumbai: Singer and actress Monali Thakur has promised to treat Punjabi star Diljit Dosanjh to a traditional Bengali feast, followed by Mishti Doi, after the singer playfully reminded her of an earlier promise to serve him the popular Bengali dessert.

In a video shared on her official Instagram handle on Friday, Monali responded to Diljit's complaint by saying that she would not limit the treat to Mishti Doi but would first introduce him to a full Bengali meal.

She expressed confidence that once Diljit experienced the flavours of Bengali cuisine, he would not want to leave Kolkata.

Addressing the singer as 'Pajji', Monali said she was touched that he remembered her after so many years, particularly over the promise of Mishti Doi. She added that since it was only a dessert, he would have to enjoy an entire Bengali meal before tasting it.

Monali also assured Diljit that she would make time for the treat regardless of where she was in the world, asking him to share a convenient date and time.

"When Butter Chicken meets Mishti Doi!! Paajii!! @diljitdosanjh," she wrote in the caption accompanying the video.

Diljit is scheduled to perform in Kolkata on December 19, 2026, as part of his Aura India Tour 2026. The concert will take place at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, popularly known as Salt Lake Stadium.

Monali also made a special musical request to Diljit, urging him to include at least one Bengali song in his Kolkata concert. She said the audience's response would be extraordinary if he performed a Bengali number familiar to local listeners.

Offering to help him choose a song, she said she would send him a list of suggestions through Instagram direct messages.
