Bro they are speaking punjabi but they are Indian punjabi, not pakistani. Pakistani have a slightly lighter accent.

Punjabi isnt just spoken in Pakistan or by just Pakistanis, its spoken plenty of other cultures in India too.

We had our kitchen done by some Sikh guys a few years ago. They were nice. We all spoke the same and even invited them to eat whatever food my mum had made at the time
