New York, Met Gala 2025 – The internet has been blessed with yet another iconic Diljit Dosanjh moment, and no, it’s not a new song or a meme-worthy interview. This time, it’s the Punjabi superstar learning English from ChatGPT just minutes before stepping onto the Met Gala blue carpet. And guess who caught him red-handed? None other than Shakira, who couldn’t stop laughing at his unexpected pre-event hustle.
The BTS Clip That Broke the Internet
A behind-the-scenes video shared by Nicole Scherzinger gave us a glimpse of the chaotic yet hilarious moments before the stars made their grand entrance. The clip starts with Shakira struggling to fit her gigantic gown inside a limo (because, of course, Met Gala outfits don’t believe in practicality). Meanwhile, Diljit is seen intensely staring at his phone, fingers typing furiously.
When Shakira asks, “Diljit, what are you doing?”, our man replies with the most serious face:
“I am learning English.”
Cue Shakira’s infectious laughter.
Now, let’s be real—Diljit’s English is already legendary (who can forget “I am a very good boy”?), but the fact that he was last-minute cramming with an AI chatbot before one of the biggest fashion events in the world? Absolute gold.
Diljit Dosanjh’s Met Gala Debut: A Maharaja Moment
While ChatGPT was busy teaching him phrases like “Where is the after-party?” and “No, I am not Shah Rukh Khan,” Diljit made history as the first turbaned Sikh artist to walk the Met Gala blue carpet. And boy, did he slay.
Dressed in a regal ivory sherwani and tehmat by designer Prabal Gurung, Diljit paid tribute to Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala. His look was complete with a jewel-studded kirpan, a majestic turban, and a layered necklace that screamed “Punjab da asli swag.”
But the real showstopper? His cape featuring the silhouetted map of Punjab and Gurmukhi script embroidered on it. Because if you’re going to represent your culture at the Met Gala, you might as well do it with a walking, talking Punjabi Wikipedia page.
On Instagram, he captioned his look: “Main Hoon Punjab #MetGala.” And honestly, if that isn’t the most Diljit way to announce your arrival, we don’t know what is.
The Great Cartier Necklace Mystery
Now, here’s the drama you didn’t know you needed. Diljit’s stylist really wanted to borrow the original Cartier necklace worn by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh—a 1,000-carat diamond masterpiece that went missing from India in 1948.
But alas, the necklace is locked up in a museum, and no amount of “Please, sir, just for one night?” worked. So, instead, they got an Indian jeweller to recreate it. Which, let’s be honest, is still extra enough for the Met Gala.
Shakira’s Reaction: “Diljit, You’re Killing Me!”
Back to the ChatGPT saga—Shakira, being the global icon she is, found the whole situation hilarious. Imagine being in a limo with a man who’s Googling “How to sound posh in English” while you’re trying not to trip over your own dress.
Sources say (okay, fine, we made this up) that she later asked him, “Did ChatGPT teach you how to say ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ in Punjabi?” To which Diljit probably replied, “Nahi, but it taught me ‘Shakira, you are very beautiful.’”
Bollywood at Met Gala 2025: SRK, Priyanka, and More
Diljit wasn’t the only Indian star making waves. Shah Rukh Khan made his Met Gala debut (finally!), proving that even at 59, he can make hearts race faster than his DDLJ train scene.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas brought the power couple energy, while Kiara Advani (glowing as a mom-to-be) stunned in a Gaurav Gupta gown. And let’s not forget Isha Ambani, who casually showed up wearing half of her mother’s diamond collection like it was no big deal.
But let’s be real—none of them had ChatGPT open in their limo.
Final Verdict: Diljit Wins the Internet (Again)
At the end of the day, Diljit Dosanjh proved three things:
-
You’re never too famous to learn English from a robot.
-
Punjabi swag is always in fashion.
-
If you’re not cracking up Shakira before the Met Gala, are you even doing it right?
So here’s to Diljit—the man who brought AI-assisted charm, maharaja-level drip, and unintentional comedy to the Met Gala. Next year, we demand a Punjabi ChatGPT voice assistant just for him.
Final Thought: If Diljit ever does a TED Talk, it better be titled “How to Use ChatGPT to Impress Shakira.”
DISCLAIMER
Yes, Diljit actually slayed the Met Gala. No, ChatGPT did not teach him English (though we’d totally watch that tutorial). This article is 47% facts, 53% creative chaos, and 100% unserious. Any resemblance to real AI-powered language lessons is purely a hilarious coincidence. Brands/celebs mentioned haven’t endorsed this (yet), but Shakira’s laugh? That was real.
