Foreign media asks Shah Rukh Khan who he is at MET Gala, Vogue completely ignores Kiara Advani
Shah Rukh Khan made his much-anticipated Met Gala debut, but instead of being welcomed with fanfare, the global superstar was asked who he was by international press and given barely 3 seconds of screen time by Vogue. Kiara Advani got none. Indian fans are furious, calling it disrespectful and humiliating.
You would think when the literal King of Bollywood walks into the Met Gala, the world would stop for a second. But nope, when Shah Rukh Khan arrived at the 2025 Met Gala in a custom Sabyasachi fit, the foreign press greeted him with mics... and confusion. Yes, confusion.
it genuinely worries me that there are ppl out there who dont know who shah rukh khan is like pls seek help??

Who is Shah Rukh Khan, asks foreign media
SRK, the man with over 30 years of superstardom and billions of fans across continents, had to introduce himself like it was an audition. ¡°I am Shah Rukh,¡± he said, calmly and politely, like an absolute legend ¡ª even as the paparazzi scrambled cluelessly. Not one question about his legacy, just awkward nods and hurried glances.
Are you also Disappointed by Vogue¡¯s Biased Coverage at the Met Gala ¨C Our Celebrities Deserved Better#ShahRukhKhan and #KiaraAdvani didn¡¯t even get a proper camera pan at all.

Shah Rukh Khan made history by making his debut at the MET Gala
He looked stunning, by the way. Clad in a regal black suit accessorised with layers of necklaces and a tiger-topped cane (because why not?), the Sabyasachi-designed ensemble screamed royalty. The designer, standing beside Shah Rukh in a red carpet chat with Vogue, even revealed how chaotic the hotel scene got when SRK stepped out ¡ª almost a stampede. But clearly, none of that mattered to the organisers.

Even Vogue, the supposed champion of Met coverage, handed Shah Rukh a grand total of three seconds of screen time. Three. Seconds. Kiara Advani, who also made a striking appearance at the event, received none. Not a single frame. If you blinked, you missed the King. If you sneezed, you missed Kiara completely.
Social media, especially X and Reddit, are now in meltdown mode. One user fumed, ¡°Why are we still treated like this? It¡¯s 2025.¡± Another called it ¡°humiliating¡± and a third didn¡¯t hold back: ¡°The hosts had no clue who the King is. This is embarrassing for them, not us.¡±
#ShahRukhKhan made his #MetGala debut in an all-black ensemble styled with an assemblage of statement jewellery pieces. While his choice of outfit is classic.??

Let¡¯s be real, if Harry Styles or Timoth¨¦e Chalamet blinked on the carpet, they would have gotten a slow-mo montage and a deep-dive analysis. But Shah Rukh Khan? The man who practically redefined global stardom? Ignored. Disrespected. Undervalued.
The Met Gala 2025 might have tailored its theme to honour ¡°Black Style,¡± but the tailoring of respect clearly did not extend to global stars of colour. And fans are not having it. At all.
