While Shah Rukh’s attendance was groundbreaking, international media gave him only three seconds of coverage, sparking backlash from his massive global fanbase. Disappointed fans voiced their anger across social platforms.
One outraged user on X wrote, “Only three seconds of Shah Rukh Khan at the Met Gala? And that interviewer didn’t even recognize him? It’s absurd. He’s a global superstar. Do your homework!”
Interviewer’s Failure to Identify SRK Goes Viral
A clip that has gone viral online shows an international journalist asking Shah Rukh Khan, “Who are you?” The actor responded modestly, while Sabyasachi quickly intervened, stating, “Just so you know, Shah Rukh Khan is one of the most recognized people in the world. His fan base is legendary—we nearly had a stampede outside the hotel when he arrived.”
Shah Rukh’s Met Gala look featured a floor-length coat tailored from Tasmanian superfine wool, finished with monogrammed Japanese horn buttons. He matched it with a silk crepe de chine shirt and sharply cut trousers.
Completing the look was an extravagant Bengal Tiger Cane, crafted in 18-karat gold and embellished with tourmalines, sapphires, and brilliant-cut as well as old mine-cut diamonds—a symbol of timeless elegance and power.
