He was initially upset over it as the kirpan was a part of his look; nevertheless, he requested permission to at least click photos with it backstage. Later, in the rush of the moment, he ended up sitting in the car with the kirpan still in his hand.
When he arrived at the venue, he decided to carry it with him and would hand it over if anyone asked or insisted. Least did he or anyone know that he would be able to carry the kirpan to the red carpet of the Met Gala 2025, courtesy of Shakira, or to be more specific, Shakira's dress.

"Shakira was ahead of me, and her dress had a lot of metal pins and such. No one wanted to go behind her because she's a big star, but I thought it was okay because she was in my group. So when she was going through the metal detector, it had to beep because of all the metal on her dress, and I had the Kirpan under my cape, so I just walked through with her,' revealed the actor.
'I thought, 'If we get caught, we both will; if not, then not.'
I had the Kirpan under my cape. They checked Shakira but didn't check me," he added.
The 'Sardaar Ji 3' controversy
Though Diljit Dosanjh recieved a lot of love and warmth for his Met Gala 2025 debut, currently the actor is facing backlash over the Hania Aamir's casting controversy in 'Sardaar Ji 3.'

Though the movie is not releasing in India and will only be hitting the overseas screens, netizens and FWICE have expressed their disapproval and disappointment towards the film.
FWICE has even urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take action in this matter.

Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 preview: Shocking Twist! Spot eviction with an open nomination task awaits

Just a day after eight contestants were nominated for the week's eviction, a teaser released by the makers hints at yet another explosive twist, an open nomination task that could lead to a spot eviction. In the latest promo, contestant Bincy is seen reading out a task letter from Bigg Boss , which asks the housemates to nominate someone they believe does not deserve to stay in the house. The twist? The letter clearly states that the result of this task will lead to an eviction, possibly an immediate one. In the teaser, Aryan is seen nominating Shanavas, making a sharp comment: "He tries to portray himself as Rudran, the villain from his serial, but to me, he feels more like a cat." Gizele, who was already nominated earlier, targeted Sarika, saying, "This is Bigg Boss, not a place to act like a mother-in-law." Rena too jumped into the action, stating she doesn't think Nevin fits the Bigg Boss image and is only trying to be an entertainer. Nevin, unfazed, snapped back, saying, 'I'm here because I am an entertainer.'

Roblox Grow a Garden recipe: How to make prismatic, divine, mythical, and other types of sushi
Grow a Garden lives up to its name — a simple, low-pressure game where players cultivate a plot of land with plants and animals, then harvest, sell, trade, or even steal from others. With Minecraft-style visuals and a soothing classical soundtrack featuring tunes like Mozart's Rondo Alla Turca , the game has quietly become a viral hit. Its success has only reinforced Roblox's position not just in gaming but in pop culture — for better or worse, it's where the kids are. To play, all you need is a Roblox account. You'll start with a blank plot, a small stash of in-game currency called 'sheckles,' and a starter seed. From there, you can plant crops, sell your harvest, and reinvest in new seeds, animals, or tools. While real-money purchases can speed things up, you can still progress at your own pace — selling enough crops unlocks better seeds beyond the basics like carrots and blueberries.
