Diljit Dosanjh At Met Gala: Famous Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh made the Met Gala 2025 even more special with his look and swag. However, Diljit and his team wanted to do something else to make this look more special. But his dream could not be fulfilled.
Many Indian celebrities attended the Met Gala held in New York this year. Everyone won the hearts of the audience with their fabulous clothes. But among all the Indian and foreign celebrities who attended the blue carpet of Met Gala 2025, the look of 'Punjab Da Puttar' Diljit Dosanjh became the most discussed topic on social media. Actually, Diljit paid tribute to 20th century Patiala Maharaja Bhupinder Singh with this look. To make this tribute even more special, Diljit wanted to wear Maharaja Bhupinder Singh's necklace, but this necklace is now with Cartier (French luxury brand) and they refused to give it to Diljit's team.
Maharaja Bhupinder Singh's necklace, which Cartier refused to give to Diljit's team, was worn by Emma Chamberlain 3 years ago at the Met Gala. This year Diljit Dosanjh was seen walking the blue carpet of the Met Gala in a royal style in a stunning outfit by Prabal Gurung. To make this look special, Diljit's stylist Abhilasha Devnani was trying to include Maharaja Bhupinder Singh's iconic Patiala choker in the actor's look. Actually, this neckpiece was made by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh in the year 1928 from the famous French brand Cartier. The price of this necklace studded with 2900 diamonds is said to be 21000 crores.
Did not give necklace to Diljit
According to a report in The New York Times, Cartier informed Dosanjh's team that Maharaj's necklace was sealed in a museum and was not available for resourcing. After Cartier's refusal, Devnani collaborated with Golecha Jewels to create a stunning neck piece inspired by the original choker for Diljit.
Emma Chamberlain wore a neckpiece
When Cartier refused to give the necklace to Diljit, this news went viral on social media, then some social media users reminded the brand that in the year 2022, Cartier brand ambassador and famous YouTuber Emma Chamberlain flaunted her charm on the red carpet wearing the same necklace of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh, which she has refused to give to Diljit.
Talking about this, an expert said that when Emma Chamberlain wore that antique necklace, it was shown as if the Cartier company has been preserving many very precious things of history. This proved how old this company is and how great their art is. At that time everyone was just talking about that expensive company, no one was interested in knowing the old story of that necklace and this is what the company also wanted. But if Diljit had worn that necklace, then the history related to the necklace would have been discussed more than the company and then questions would also have been asked.
This necklace had disappeared from India
If Diljit Dosanjh had come on the blue carpet wearing Maharaj's necklace, the history of that necklace would have been revealed to everyone and then people would have asked questions like how did this necklace come to Cartier? Why was it stolen? Who stole it? It is obvious that the company did not want any discussion about all this.
According to media reports, this necklace was last seen in India in the year 1946. When India became independent, it suddenly disappeared from the royal treasury. After many years, some small parts of this necklace were found in London, they were sold separately and the Cartier company bought them.
People took a dig at him on social media
Many people have trolled Cartier on social media regarding this entire incident. A user has written in his tweet that, "If Diljit had worn it, it would not have been just an expensive thing. It would have been like getting it back and it would have become a big political issue. It was good for them, good for Punjabis and Indians, but not for the British." So one has written that it is strange that they were not giving us the thing that was really ours.
