Of course, Dosanjh is no stranger to such style.Just like his music, he's carved out a niche in fashion too - a hip hop singer who is known for melding traditional Punjabi styles with Western influences.

Often seen in anti-fit trousers, chunky sneakers, and stacks of necklaces that he matches with his colourful turbans, his unique form of self-expression has captured the imagination of millions, leading to interesting reinventions in the traditional Punjabi attire.The changes can be felt everywhere. A 16-minute high-intensity bhangra competition in California would be impossible without high performance sneakers. And basement bhangra nights in Berlin are enjoyed in crop tops and deconstructed pants.Punjabi music itself, high on volume and energy - with lyrics packed with the names of cities and global luxury brands - has become a subculture.

It's not just Dosanjh - several other Punjabi musicians have also influenced the region's style game.Not long ago, Punjabi-Canadian singer Jazzy B's rings, often the size of a cookie, along with his plus-sized Kanda pendant and silver blonde hair tints, were trending.

More recently, the yellow tinted glasses worn by singer Badshah; the baggy hoodies sported by Yo Yo Honey Singh; and AP Dhillon's Louis Vuitton bombers and Chanel watches have been hugely popular with Punjabi youth.

But even though their influence was significant, it was restricted to a region. Dosanjh and a few others like him, however, have managed to mount it to a global level, their style speaking to both the Sikh diaspora as well as a broader audience. For instance, the t-shirts, pearls and sneakers Dosanjh wore to his world tour last year were sold out in a matter of hours. Dhillon's style statements at Paris Couture Week have created aspiration among Punjabi youth.Almost 100 people have taken part in a 12-hour monologue event to help save a Grade II-listed theatre from closure.

The Cheltenham Playhouseit did not have the "depth of funds" to survive but, in a bid to remain open, has been undergoing a fundraising campaign.

Hoping to raise £50,000 by the end of June, 93 people took part in the continual event on Saturday.Anya Wood, a theatre trustee, said the "day was full of talent, warmth and hope for the Playhouse".
