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 the Met Gala 2025, the look of 'Punjab Da Puttar' Diljit Dosanjh became the most discussed topic on social media. Diljit paid tribute to 20th 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 (a French luxury brand), and they refused to give it to Diljit's team.

The necklace of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh, 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. 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.
Diljit was not given the necklace.
According to a report in The New York Times, Cartier informed Dosanjh's team that the Maharaj's necklace is sealed in a museum and is not available for borrowing. After Cartier's refusal, Devnani, along with Golecha Jewels, prepared a stunning necklace inspired by that original choker for Diljit.
Emma Chamberlain wore the 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's 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 in such a way as if the Cartier company had been preserving many very valuable things of history. This proved how old this company is and how great its 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 related to that necklace would have come to light, and then people would have asked questions like How did this necklace come to Cartier? Why was it stolen? Who stole it? The company did not want all this to be discussed.
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, and they were sold separately. And the Cartier company bought them.

People took a dig on social media.
Many people have trolled Cartier a lot on social media regarding this entire incident. A user wrote in his tweet, "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 wrote that it is strange that they were not giving us the thing that was really ours.
