Shah Rukh Khan Makes Historic Met Gala Debut

Shah Rukh Khan made history as the first Indian male actor to attend the Met Gala, wearing a striking all-black Sabyasachi ensemble accessorized with a diamond-studded 'K' pendant and a tiger-topped walking stick that went viral. His appearance received widespread attention and praise from fans, celebrities like Kajol and Karan Johar, and brands such as Amul. An Australian magazine's reference to Shah Rukh and Priyanka Chopra as a 'former duo' reignited rumors about their past, while fans noted similarities to their 2007 pairing. Despite his international fame, some Met Gala hosts failed to recognize him, leading designer Sabyasachi to publicly comment on his global stature. Viral college-era photos of Shah Rukh fueled further nostalgia. The event highlighted both the celebration of Indian representation and ongoing discussions about global recognition for non-Western stars.
