Shehnaaz Gill Praises His Look:

Among the many who shared their excitement was actress Shehnaaz Gill, who commented, “Feeling proud,” clearly moved by the way Diljit carried his culture.

While Shehnaaz showed her admiration for Diljit's Met Gala look, the singer has also spoken highly of her in the past. During an Instagram live session, the singer couldn't stop praising his Honsla Rakh co-star for how far she has come in her journey.

Speaking to Shehnaaz's mother, Diljit said, “Your daughter is very shy but I am very proud of her. Shehnaaz has truly worked very hard. Where did she start from, and now the whole world knows her name. Everyone is so proud of her. Especially for women, it is very hard for them to make it in this field, and all fields generally. The atmosphere in most industries is not feasible for their growth. It's easier for men comparatively.”

On the work front, Diljit has wrapped up the UK schedule for his much-anticipated drama, Sardaar Ji 3, which is directed by Amar Hundal. The movie also features Gulshan Grover, Manav Vij, Nasir Chinyoti, Monica Sharma and Saleem Albela, among others.
