Diljit Dosanjh Snuck a Kirpan into the Met Gala |Shakira Helped Without Knowing
Diljit Dosanjh didn't just walk the Met Gala red carpet, he walked in with Punjab, pride, and power stitched into every thread. The actor-singer's royal look featured the map of Punjab, Gurmukhi script, and a tribute to Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala.But the real moment? Diljit carried his sacred kirpan and almost couldn't get past security. Then, in a twist straight out of a movie, Shakira's metal-heavy outfit triggered the detectors and Diljit slipped through beside her. 'If we get caught, we both will… if not, then not,' he joked later. From cultural symbolism to fashion bravery, Diljit made history. This wasn't just style. It was Sikh identity on the world's biggest fashion stage.

Speaking to ANI, Dhaliwal expressed, 'Even before this, many artists from Pakistan have worked in India... We are in favour of Diljit Dosanjh... The stages where the world's biggest artists dream of performing, our Punjabi gabru, with a turban on his head, proclaims 'Punjabi aa gaye oye'. When he goes to the same stage with the tricolour in his hand, then our pride becomes even greater... Punjab, Punjabi, and Punjabiyat are with you, Diljit.' The singer-actor has been facing a massive backlash for collaborating with a Pakistani artist, Hania Aamir, in his film 'Sardaar Ji 3'. The timing has added fuel to the ongoing controversy, as tensions between India and Pakistan remain high following the recent Pahalgam terror attack. Sardaar Ji 3 was released in theatres on 27 June but was not released in India. Meanwhile, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees had sent a letter to the makers of Border 2, urging them to cut all ties with Diljit. 'Your involvement risks sending a deeply conflicting message, especially given your influence as a director known for socially resonant therefore, strongly appeal to you to reconsider your collaboration with Diljit Dosanjh and withdraw from associating with any artist who has been officially boycotted by FWICE. Upholding the dignity of our industry and the nation must remain paramount over professional or commercial interests,' the letter read. (ANI)
