Diljit Dosanjh on his Met Gala look
Diljit revealed that he was always sure that when he would walk the carpet at the Met Gala, people would only have eyes on him. He said, "I knew it jab main jaaunga toh koi aur nahi dikhega. Chahe voh mujhe kum dikhaayen lekin jab main jaaungi toh koi nhi dikhega (When I go there no one will have eyes on anyone else. Even if they show me less, but when I go no one else will be visible)."
He continued that he always knew that whenever he would get a chance, he would look like a king. "When I went to the Cartier showroom, I asked them, 'Will you give me that necklace. It belonged to us, and you just took it.' They had promised me then, but it was stuck in an exhibition, so it couldn't be sent. I cried when I thought of my look—that I would wear an outfit with the
flag on my back and Gurmukhi script written on it."
"That was a very big thought for me. It wasn't important that I go there, it was important that Punjab goes there, that the turban goes there. That thought alone made me cry," he quoted.

We shot this in Feb and then everything was fine. Uske baad, bhut saari badi cheezen humare haath mein nahi hai. Toh producers ne decide kiya ki film obviously ab India toh nahi lagegi, toh overseas release karte hain.
Toh producers ka bahut paisa laga hua hai aur jab yeh film bann rahi thi tab aisa kuch tha nahi." He added that the makers are aware they will incur losses. 'Now the situation is not in our hands. So if the producers want to release it abroad, I support them," he concluded.

Sardaar Ji 3 to not release in India amid row over Hania Aamir, internet reacts: ‘Boycott Diljit Dosanjh'
Diljit Dosanjh and Pakistani actor Hania Aamir's film Sardaar Ji 3 to skip India release amid growing controversy around it. Many people and film bodies objected to the release over the casting of the Pakistani actor. Amid this, the makers of Sardaar Ji 3 issued a statement, confirming that the film won't be released in India. Defending the casting of the film, the makers said that Hania was picked before tensions escalated between India and Pakistan. However, the internet is not convinced. The makers shared in their official statement, 'This is to bring to everyone's kind notice that the film named, Sardaarji 3, was shot well before the prevailing situation that our country is facing now and it was never ever the case that any Pakistani artist was signed or was engaged after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam.' 'We stand united with our country and our fellow countrymen during this sensitive time. Considering the same, we had decided not to release the film or any of its promotional content in India until the situation becomes opportune,' they confirmed that the film or related promotional activities won't take place in India. The statement received mixed reactions from the internet. Many Indians reached out to the comment section to slam the film team. One of them wrote in the comments, 'U do have the option to cut the scene featuring Hania Aamir and yet u didn't do it and after such backlash u are statement to whitewash your image (sic).' 'Profit first nation comes second,' commented one user sarcastically. Another added, 'Don't you feel any shame in doing all this.' '@diljitdosanjh boycott go hell with this movie in Pakistan,' added someone else. Meanwhile, some also welcomed the decision. One of them commented, 'It was a perfect decision art have no boundaries.' 'Perfect,' wrote many. Earlier, Diljit Dosanjh commented for the first time after the controversy erupted. In an interview, he said that the film was shot before the ongoing India-Pakistan tensions. He told BBC Asian Network that producer's money is at stake. The film is slated for the worldwide release on 27 June. The controversy began ever since the teaser of Sardaarji 3, featuring Hania Aamir, was unveiled.
