His caption read, "It was my dearest friend @karanjohar ’s 40th birthday in Mumbai, where I first met @aliaabhatt. I had heard rave reviews about her through him and my brother @praveshgurung, who was assisting Karan in her debut film. I was immediately taken by her when I met her. A petite ingénue whose simmering fire within her was palpable to all of us. One film after another, she has surpassed anyone’s expectations and thrilled us with her creative genius. She’s a powerhouse performer. To me, she is one of the finest actors we have right now globally, but above all, she’s a friend, a good friend, and a loyal one; that’s what makes her extremely special."

He further added, "We’ve talked about a Met moment for a long time. I have invited her before, but she’s always been wise enough to say let’s wait. This time however, she felt it was the right moment, so she said yes, and off we went to our wildest imaginations along with Anaita to create a homage to Karl that celebrated Alia’s heritage, my love for Karl ( he is my master, and yes he did give me my CVFF award). More than 100,000 pearls were hand embroidered in India on silk tulle and made in Atelier Prabal Gurung, New York. A well-traveled dress for the global superstar."
