Diljit Dosanjh Makes Historic Debut at MET Gala 2025 Honoring Punjabi Heritage

Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh made a remarkable debut at the MET Gala 2025, using fashion to celebrate his cultural roots on one of the world's most prestigious fashion platforms.

Dosanjh arrived at the event in a regal ensemble inspired by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh, featuring a traditional sherwani complemented by a turban and ceremonial sword. The centerpiece of his outfit was a cape meticulously embroidered with the map of Punjab and the Gurmukhi alphabet, creating what observers described as "a love letter to Punjab in every stitch."

"This is a tribute to my Punjabi heritage," Dosanjh explained about his outfit choice, which positioned him as a representation of Indian culture on the global stage.

The singer-actor shared a video discussing the event's theme and his invitation, appearing as what many described as a "true Indian Prince" in his royal attire.

Dosanjh's presence at the gala also garnered attention for his interactions with international celebrities. In a behind-the-scenes video that has since circulated online, he was captured greeting pop star Shakira with a "Namaste," to which she responded, "Hi India." He was also seen interacting with Nicole Scherzinger during the event.

The appearance marks another milestone in Dosanjh's growing international profile, as he continues to bring Punjabi and Indian culture to global audiences.
