By honoring the evening’s theme while being faithful to his Punjabi heritage, Diljit Dosanjh created an unforgettable impact on his Met Gala debut. The singer-actor added fuel to the fire by sharing a video that took fans on a behind-the-scenes look at his preparations for the Met Gala, including his rigorous workouts and last-minute dress adjustments at the hotel.

Diljit enters a room where Tessa Thompson and Nicole Scherzinger are having their pictures shot in the video. Nicole went so far as to say he looked great. According to Diljit, the reason everyone’s schedule was pushed back at the last minute was because international superstar Shakira had to get a new zipper for her dress, which caused a little delay at the event. It is because of Shakira’s emergency that we are suffering, as the saying goes. While it is acceptable… “Her hips don’t lie and neither does she,” Diljit joked.

“They aren’t bringing us to the main area; everything is happening right there in backstage,” he said. Whisks us away to the theater. We are running behind schedule because, I assume, Shakira’s zipper broke. I anticipated that Shakira would cause us to be tardy.

Prabal Gurung, the famous fashion designer responsible for Diljit Dosanjh’s highly publicized Met Gala outfit, is also seen conversing with the actor in the behind-the-scenes footage. Diljit is ecstatic when he sees the costume for the first time. One striking feature of his costume, he says, is the Punjabi alphabet carved onto the rear of his headpiece.

Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala was the fashion icon that Diljit modeled his Met Gala dress after. His beautiful white outfit with its flowing drape and majestic, ornate hat turned heads. Adding a touch of the Maharaja’s signature Cartier style, the outfit was adorned with a stunning necklace of green and white stones. Infusing tradition with haute fashion, Diljit had a map of Punjab stitched onto his drape in Gurmukhi script, adding a highly personal touch.

Regarding his professional life, Diljit will soon be seen in Border 2 opposite Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and others.
