Media fails to recognise Shah Rukh Khan at Met Gala 2025:

Shah Rukh Khan's debut at the 2025 Met Gala, a significant moment for Indian representation on the global fashion stage, took an unexpected turn when a video surfaced showing a member of the international press asking him, "Who are you?" The Bollywood superstar responded with calm dignity, saying, "I'm Shah Rukh."

The clip quickly went viral, igniting a wave of reactions from fans worldwide. Many expressed disappointment that a figure of Khan's stature—often referred to as the "King of Bollywood" and one of the world's most influential actors—was not recognized at such a high-profile event. Social media platforms were flooded with comments criticizing the lack of awareness among some international media outlets.

Shah Rukh Khan says, "Jab main gandi pictures banata hoon, bathroom mein jaakar rota hoon."

Despite the oversight, Khan maintained his composure, engaging with the media and discussing his experience at the Met Gala. The incident has sparked a broader conversation about the recognition of non-Western artists at global events. Fans and commentators alike are calling for greater cultural awareness and inclusivity, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging diverse talents on international platforms.

While the moment was unexpected, Khan's poised response has been lauded as a testament to his humility and professionalism, further endearing him to fans around the world.

After a while, his designer, Sabyasachi, provided the right answer to them. "Just to give a little context, Shah Rukh Khan is probably one of the most famous men in the world, and his fan following is legendary. We nearly had a stampede outside the hotel when we came out," Sabyasachi stated firmly, said the designer.
