Diljit has a goofy side: Diana Penty

Diana Penty plays Natasha, a brilliant and dedicated investigator, in Detective Sherdil, which is streaming on Zee 5. She talks about her on-screen dynamic with Diljit Dosanjh, who plays the unorthodox detective, Sherdil. Penty said she enjoyed working with Diljit, who, despite his funny side, made the set a comfortable place for everyone.

“I mean, I would obviously listen and observe because he would speak a lot in Punjabi, and I understand quite a bit of it. But, yeah, he was a very fun person on set and a very nice person,” she shared.

Penty fondly recalled the humble and respectful nature of her co-star, describing him as someone who never imposed on others but always brought a sense of ease and warmth to the set. “He was very down-to-earth, very polite, and respectful of everybody around him. He made everybody comfortable, never interfered in anything... He was there for his scenes and lines, but he never imposed on anybody,” Penty noted. Diljit’s blend of humour and introverted nature made working with him a unique experience. “He has this side that’s goofy and fun, always cracking jokes, but he’s also a quiet, slightly more introverted person. So, it was honestly very easy and fun working with him,” Penty said. —
