Nasser Sultan made sure he was in his best dressed on Friday evening when he scored an unexpected invite to the Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday event.
The Married At First Sight alum, 58, stepped out at Parliament House in Sydney with his partner, SBS journalist Karla Grant, who interviewed the spiritual leader twice.
Arriving as Karla’s plus one, as she prepared to deliver a speech at the event, Nasser made sure to look his sharpest as he re-used a suit from his MAFS stint in 2018.
He shared video of the outfit to his Instagram Stories, showing off the blue suit with a black undershirt as he stood outside the prestigious event.
‘I’m off to the Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday dinner at Parliament House with my lovely partner Karla,’ he began.

He continued: ‘What I’m wearing is this suit. I’m wearing a blue suit. And it’s the same suit as I wore on MAFS. I’ve kept it since 2018, and look at this it still fits.’
Nasser shared a slew of content from the birthday event to his socials, including images of chief guest Sikyong Penpa Tsering of Tibet, who sat at his table.
The former reality TV star kicked off the night with a tribute to his 58-year-old girlfriend Karla.
‘Karla and I are absolutely honoured to be invited to celebrate his holiness’ 90th birthday dinner tonight at Parliament House,’ he wrote.
‘Karla was honoured to interview his holiness twice and has been asked to make a speech. Go girl.’
Nasser went on to upload video footage from inside the event which showed tables packed with esteemed guests and monks from Tibet and Australia.
Though Nasser was left stunned when he realised he and Karla were to be seated at a table with Sikyong Tsering, the political leader of Tibet.
‘Oh my goodness, the president of Tibet is on my table,’ he wrote over a video of Sikyong Tsering taking a seat across from him.

Throughout the night, Nasser continued to take video of the celebration and traditional entertainment organised for the event.
He also filmed Karla giving her speech, saying he was ‘very proud’ of his beloved.
Nasser then went on to tell his followers, ‘We should all be Buddhist. Seriously, the different cultures are to be loved.
‘Life is not just white blond or Gold Coast house wife’s [sic]. When the kids are united they will never be divided.’
Later in the night, Nasser uploaded a photo of himself holding hands with Karla, who wore a black suit and white scarf, as they posed in front of a photo of the Dalai Lama.
He finished off the evening with a bizarre video lashing out at the British royal family.
‘So, I’m on the steps of New South Wales Parliament House,’ he began.
‘Just been to the Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday and I ask you this: Who would you prefer—the Dalai Lama or bloody Prince Charles?’

‘Let me tell you, I prefer the Dalai Lama any day. Prince Charles does nothing. Dalai Lama preaches peace, harmony and good will,’ he continued.
‘Prince Charles walks around, shakes hands, and pretends he’s into it. So, Dalai Lama for me all the way. God bless Dalai Lama.’
It comes as thousands of Buddhist followers descended on India with the 14th Dalai Lama to celebrate his 90th birthday, including Hollywood star Richard Gere.
Describing himself as a ‘a simple Buddhist monk’ who usually doesn’t celebrate birthday, the Dalai Lama rang in the milestone by praying for peace.
The call for peace came after China insisted it would have the final say on who succeeded the Tibetan spiritual leader.
Richard, 75, a practising Buddhist since 1978 and long-time friend of the Dalai Lama, was seen reverently kissing the spiritual leader’s hand at the event.
The celebration was held at Dharamshala, the headquarters of the Tibetan government-in-exile.
