Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh is spilling some tea on his MET Gala prep drama, revealing Shakira’s wardrobe went rogue in the hotel dressing room, sparking a last-minute fashion emergency that got him late.
Diljit has shared a behind-the-scenes video showcasing his preparation for the MET Gala event, from workouts to final fitting frenzies in the hotel, capturing the chaos leading up to his red carpet appearance.
In the over 13-minute behind-the-scenes video, Diljit gives a glimpse into the chaos unfolding next door, revealing that Shakira is dealing with a wardrobe emergency – a broken zipper – as he gets ready for the Met Gala in his own room.
“Shakira ki emergency ki wajah se sada kaam suffer hogaya (We are suffering because of Shakira’s emergency). But it is okay… Hips don’t lie and she doesn’t lie,” joked Diljit with a reference to Shakira’s hit song Hips Don’t Lie.
Later, the clip shows that Diljit was all set to hit the red carpet, but his exit from the hotel was delayed. He was scheduled to pose for photos with Shakira, who was running behind schedule due to a last-minute wardrobe emergency: a broken zipper that left her team scrambling for a quick fix.
Diljit said, “They are not taking us to the main area, all the action is happening at the backstage itself. Takes us to the stage. I guess the zipper of Shakira’s broke, that’s why we are late. I knew we would be late because of Shakira.”
The video also shows Diljit trying on his attire, saying he is proud to represent his roots and Punjab on the global stage, mentioning, “I am trying to bring Punjab to the Met Gala red carpet”. When he is getting ready, Diljit said, “We would have won if this was a fancy dress competition”.”
In an interview, he was asked which celebrity he was excited to meet on the Met Gala red carpet. To which, Diljit said, “Don’t take me wrong but I am excited that everybody will be looking at me”.
