The actor-singer was all praises for the team tagline as well as SRK himself. Talking about the powerful message the slogan promoted, Diljit said:
“Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo Re. This is a very good tagline. This is of Kolkata knight riders. It was a very lovely tagline and specially as it is Shahrukh Khan sir’s team, so it had to be good for us because we are sir’s fans. So this is also a very good mantra that you should work hard, fight with yourself; and whether you win or not it is a matter of fact; it is our duty to give 100 percent. So if you work 100 percent then obviously there is no option left for winning.”

“It is a matter of great pride for you that you have great personalities, be it spiritual leaders or Rabindranath Tagore ji. I was reading about them. I liked one thing about them. Someone said that if you have written your national anthem, then you should also write the world anthem. His reply was very lovely. He said that Guru Nanak Dev ji had already written it in the 15th century.”
