Diljit Dosanjh says Cartier stole the necklace of Maharaja of Patliala; gets emotional talking about Punjab amidst controversy surrounding Hania Aamir's casting in 'Sardaarji 3'
Diljit Dosanjh
has been in the news lately after he dropped the trailer of 'Sardaarji 3' as the actor was trolled for working with Hania Aamir. The singer turned actor is just releasing his film overseas now and now in India.
Meanwhile, Diljit has been making some noise globally. He was also seen at the Met Gala this year and has a lot of fan following overseas.
At the Met Gala, he wore a special cape with the map of Punjab and Gurmukhi script on it. The idea touched him so deeply that he cried. 'It wasn't about me going to the Met Gala,' he said. 'It was Punjab going there. It was the turban being seen and respected.'
He also shared a funny yet emotional story about the necklace he wore.
He had asked Cartier for the original necklace once worn by the Maharaja of Patiala—because, as he said, 'It was ours, and they took it.' When Cartier said it was on display elsewhere, he had a replica made. Still, the meaning behind it mattered more than the real thing.
Diljit doesn't pretend to be doing anything noble. 'I'm not doing anything for Punjab,' he said honestly. 'I'm just doing my work. If it helps others, that's great.

But I'm doing it for myself. I'm actually very selfish.'
He also spoke about the criticism he gets for always talking about Punjab and not India. To that, he said, 'I can only speak from my heart. I was born in Punjab. I am Punjabi. That's just who I am.' He believes we all have little control over life. 'We don't even control our own breath,' he said. 'If someone hates me, maybe there's still something in me that deserves hate. One day, if I become a better person, maybe the hate will stop.
'
Diljit added that while Punjab has rich culture and produces amazing talent, it has also gone through pain. 'Maybe it's blessed,' he said quietly. 'Maybe it's also cursed," he added.

"Just switching girlfriends": Cam Newton reacts as Offset links up with Stefon Diggs' ex while Cardi B stays close to NFL star
Cam Newton's words hit home in the love feud (Image via Getty) Cam Newton throws sharp insight into the brewing celebrity tension involving Stefon Diggs, Cardi B , and Offset, describing the whole dynamic as messy and unstrategic. While social media speculates over yacht parties and club appearances, the former NFL MVP shifts the focus to personal value and intent. Newton's take not only puts Diggs in a stronger light but also questions the authenticity behind Offset's recent moves. This escalating situation is no longer just celebrity gossip — it's becoming a cultural case study in pride, relationships, and public image. Newton compares Offset-Diggs saga to high school games Cam Newton's commentary arrived after reports surfaced that Offset had been seen at a club with Sky Marlene, Stefon Diggs' ex-girlfriend. This followed recent buzz about Diggs and Cardi B appearing together at a yacht party, amid Offset's rumored efforts to reconcile with his ex-wife. Newton didn't hold back as he dissected the drama, making it clear that both Offset and Diggs are treating relationships like competitions. For Newton, the situation reflects more than just headlines — it's a showcase of male ego on display. Reacting to the latest twist in the MESSY Cardi B x Offset drama In a clip shared over the weekend, Newton likened their actions to students cheating in school. 'Offset switches his grade or paper with, you know what I'm saying, Stefon.

His remarks point to a lack of maturity in how both public figures are handling the emotional fallout. Ex-NFL MVP weighs in on Cardi B dating drama He further added, 'You feel what I'm saying? Because like, this is… ah, it's getting a little sloppy. It is. You think so? It's, like … Okay, I see what you're trying to do.' Newton observed that it's less about genuine connection and more about symbolic wins. ' You competing. But y'all just switching girlfriends. It's, like, … what is this? What are we doing?' His tone suggested confusion and criticism, mixed with slight understanding of Offset's retaliatory mindset. Newton ultimately sided with Diggs, pointing out the financial and status dynamics between the two men. 'How much is Offset worth? Ok, thank you,' Newton said. 'He's got some money, but not Stefon money. ' Stefon Diggs is WINNING the Offseason… and Offset can't handle it! He added that men often compare themselves in terms of value when their former partners move on. 'When your ex-girl dating somebody new, the first thing you're going to ask is: 'How much is he worth?' In some capacity, you compare: 'How does he stack up against me?''

We are sure that most of you have already binge-watched 'Panchayat Season 4' by now. And if you have, you must have surely fallen in love with Neena Gupta's character. Her confident and charming on-screen presence is simply delightful. But did you know that in real life, she is just as lively and vibrant? While many fans know quite a bit about Neena, not many know about her husband, Vivek Mehra. So here's a little look into his life and their sweet love story. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vivek Mehra (@aslivivekmehra) Vivek Mehra's early life and education Vivek Mehra was born in Delhi in 1961. For his schooling, he went to the beautiful hills of Himachal Pradesh, studying at Lawrence School, Sanawar. Later, he returned to Delhi for college and attended Shri Ram College of Commerce under Delhi University, one of the best places in India for business and commerce studies. Not stopping there, he went on to do Chartered Accountancy from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, building a solid base for his future in the finance world. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo A successful corporate career When it comes to work, Vivek Mehra's journey is quite inspiring. According to a Pinkvilla report, he started off as Managing Partner at P.R. Mehra & Co. in Delhi. From there, he moved to PwC India, one of the top firms in the field. At PwC, he led the M&A tax practice and later became a member of the PwC governing board. This shows just how good he is at what he does. After his time at PwC, Vivek worked as an independent director with some of India's big names like DLF, Zee Entertainment, HT Media, Hero Future Energies and Chambal Fertilisers. On top of that, he is on the board of 17 companies. This includes well-known firms like Havells India, Bharat Hotels, and even Masaba Gupta 's fashion label. It's clear that he's a key player in many top businesses. How Vivek and Neena's love story began Not many know how Vivek Mehra and Neena Gupta first met. Well, it all began on a flight in the mid-2000s. It was only a few hours together, but in that short time, they formed a special bond. They kept in touch and got to know each other better. After almost eight years, they finally tied the knot in a private ceremony in the U.S on 15 July 2008. Most people would find it hard to live in a long-distance marriage, but Neena and Vivek make it work beautifully. The same report revealed, Neena stays in Mumbai because of her work in films and shows, while Vivek lives in Delhi, busy with his many corporate duties. Even so, they don't let distance come between them. They often travel to meet each other and always find ways to show their love and care. A chapter from his past What many people might not know is that this is Vivek Mehra's second marriage. He has never spoken about his first wife, and her name has never been made public. From that marriage, he has two kids. But all of them like to keep away from the spotlight and live a private life. A quiet man with a powerful presence Even though Vivek handles so many big roles in the corporate world, he stays away from the public eye. He is a man of quiet power, letting his work do all the talking. Being on the board of 17 companies is no small thing. Yet, he manages to keep it all low-key, which is quite rare these days.
