Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh, who made a notable debut at the Met Gala 2025, has opened up about his experience at the global fashion spectacle and shared a heartwarming anecdote involving Bollywood icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Dosanjh, who is among the few Indian entertainers to have walked the prestigious Met Gala red carpet, took to social media shortly after the event to share behind-the-scenes glimpses. But in a recent interview with BBC Asian Network, the Chamkila actor reflected on his emotional moment with Priyanka Chopra at the venue.
“Thanks to Priyanka Chopra,” Diljit recalled. “Main jab gaya toh voh vahan thi already and Priyanka also came to me and said, ‘Diljit main idhar hi bethi hun, tereko kisi bhi cheez ki zarurat ho just say PC and main jaldi se aajaungi.’ Aur mera tabhi mann bhar aaya tha.” (Translation: “When I arrived, she was already there. She came to me and said, ‘Diljit, I’m sitting right here. If you need anything, just say PC and I’ll be there immediately.’ That filled my heart.”)
Dosanjh, who admitted to feeling slightly out of place at such a high-profile global event, also shared another meaningful encounter. “When I went to my table, there was another Sardar boy who helped me a lot. I didn’t know anyone there. I hadn’t been to any parties before. But he came to my table and served me everything. He was actually serving food there,” the actor said, visibly moved.
Sardaar Ji 3 Release Update Amid Backlash
On the professional front, Diljit is awaiting the release of Sardaar Ji 3, a Punjabi horror-comedy slated to premiere on June 27. However, the film has been surrounded by controversy due to the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. In light of recent geopolitical tensions, including the Pahalgam terror attack, the filmmakers have decided not to release the film in India. Instead, it will be released exclusively in overseas markets.
Despite this decision, the makers and Dosanjh himself have come under fire from a section of netizens and film industry representatives, with calls to boycott the film due to its collaboration with a Pakistani artist.
