Diljit Dosanjh Sneaks Kirpan into Met Gala with Shakira's Help

Diljit Dosanjh, a singer, wore a traditional Kirpan, a Sikh religious symbol, to the Met Gala.

Event staff initially wouldn't let him carry it because they considered it a weapon.

Dosanjh cleverly brought it with him anyway.

He says that Shakira, the famous singer, helped him without realizing it!

She was wearing a dress with lots of metal, so the security focused on her when she went through the detector.

This gave Dosanjh the chance to sneak by with his Kirpan.

His outfit, designed by Prabal Gurung, paid tribute to a Maharaja.
