Thanks to a now-viral behind-the-scenes video from the Met Gala 2025, singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has once again shown himself to be one of the most relatable celebrities on the international scene.
Singer Nicole Scherzinger posted an unguarded video of Diljit sitting in a limousine with international celebrities Shakira and Tessa Thompson, calmly browsing through his phone.
In response to Nicole's inquisitive question, Diljit said, "I am learning English," and disclosed that he was using ChatGPT to assist him in this endeavour. His candour was endearing.
Before the camera moves to Tessa Thompson, who flaunts her imposing eight-inch stilettos, the endearing video opens with stylists adjusting Shakira's ornate gown. The camera then focusses on Diljit, who is utilising the AI-powered tool to sharpen his language skills while completely engrossed in his phone's screen.
Fans all around the world have responded favourably to his grounded moment amid the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, with many praising his humility and willingness to learn.
Joining fellow Indian celebrities Shah Rukh Khan and Kiara Advani for his big debut at this year's Met Gala, Diljit made a strong impression with both his appearance and his attire. He proudly celebrated his Punjabi ancestry by donning a specially designed Maharaja-inspired ensemble by designer Prabal Gurung.
One of the most extravagant monarchs of pre-independence India, Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, served as the model for the 41-year-old artist's ensemble. Diljit's regal black cape, which was elaborately embroidered with the Punjab map and fluttered as he walked the blue carpet, gave the ensemble a dramatic and intimate touch.
Taking to Instagram, Diljit captioned his Met Gala look: “MAIN HOON (Punjab) #metgala. Inspired by The Theme of Black Dandyism, I Bring My Turban, My Culture & My Mother Tongue '(Punjabi)' to The MET GALA .”
Aside from his striking red carpet appearance, Diljit also attended the exclusive Met Gala afterparty, further cementing his presence as a global cultural ambassador for Punjab and India.
