Long before the cameras roll and the spotlight finds him, Diljit Dosanjh is already in motion. His days begin at 4:30 am: not out of obligation, but out of a commitment to keep his mind, body and craft
aligned. In a world where celebrity routines can feel overly curated, Diljit’s latest vlog offers something different: a wellness regime built on discipline, humour, and an authentic joy for the ordinary. The actor-singer, who has announced his second collaboration with director Imtiaz Ali, gives fans a rare look at the simple (and surprisingly relatable) rituals that set the tone for his day.
A Morning Rooted In Movement And Mindfulness
Diljit Dosanjh starts his mornings not at a gym but at his chicken coop – an endearingly unusual ritual that frames the rest of his day with grounded simplicity. He collects eggs, jokes about breakfast alternatives, and eases into physical activity before the structured workout even begins.
His fitness routine itself is a mix of functional exercises and bodyweight movements: stair climbing for warm-up, push-ups, jumping jacks, chest presses, and deep stretches like the cobra pose. For Diljit, it’s equal parts effort and enjoyment.

What stands out most is not the complexity of the exercises, but the consistency. A 4:30 am start, a clearly defined routine, and the discipline to show up for oneself daily. These are the foundational choices that drive both his wellness and his creativity.
Fuel That Supports Focus And Stamina
Post-workout, Diljit’s nutrition is simple but intentional. A glass of green juice and a fruit bowl with protein powder emphasise hydration, micronutrient intake and clean energy. It’s a breakfast built around lightness and digestibility – ideal for long shoot days and high-performance demands.
His eating pattern reflects a broader wellness philosophy: nourish without excess, stay consistent, and lean into foods that support longevity rather than short bursts of energy.
Work, Creativity, And The Importance Of Emotional Anchors
As Diljit heads to set, the vlog shifts from fitness to fulfilment. His reunion with Imtiaz Ali is warm, sincere, and rooted in mutual respect – especially when the director affectionately calls him “apna.” For Diljit, emotional connection is just as important as physical discipline when it comes to sustaining a healthy life.
Even an extended shoot, stretching to 8:30 pm, doesn’t break his rhythm.
Diljit’s vlog ultimately offers more than a daily breakdown; it’s a reminder that wellness is a collection of small, consistent choices. A 4:30 am start, a laugh with your chickens, a clean breakfast, meaningful work, and ending the day with the people who remind you why you began.
