href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/larryfitzmaurice\/2025-met-gala-theme-co-chairs\">Met Gala<\/a> was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/ziyajaffrey\/2025-met-gala-co-chairs-host-committee-red-carpet\">historic<\/a> for a number of reasons. If you missed it, the all-Black co-chair cohort and host committee was one major factor, as well as the platforming of 2025\u2019s incredible costume exhibit that focused on Black dandyism.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image subbuzz-index-1 \" data-keywords=\"cleaning\" data-module=\"subbuzz-image\">\n<h2 class=\"subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title \">\n<p> <span class=\"js-subbuzz__title-text\">It was a fantastic night, and a ton of stars from all over the industry made an appearance. As always, the event was curated and hosted by the one and only editor-in-chief of Vogue, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/ziyajaffrey\/2025-met-gala-co-chairs-host-committee-red-carpet\">Anna Wintour<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image subbuzz-index-2 \" data-keywords=\"fast fashion\" data-module=\"subbuzz-image\">\n<h2 class=\"subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title \">\n<p> <span class=\"js-subbuzz__title-text\">One such star making an appearance, who had never made his Met Gala debut up until this year, was none other than the King of Bollywood himself: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/riachops\/iconic-bollywood-film-dialogues\">Shah Rukh Khan<\/a>. But what was supposed to be a historic moment has caused a whole ton of discourse online regarding his alleged treatment at the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image subbuzz-index-3 \" data-keywords=\"cleaning\" data-module=\"subbuzz-image\">\n<h2 class=\"subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title \">\n<p> <span class=\"js-subbuzz__title-text\">To truly explain what went down, I\u2019ll give you some context. Despite having never appeared in a Hollywood movie and keeping his red carpet appearances in the United States to a minimum over his 30-year career, Shah Rukh Khan is a very prolific actor. And in case you aren\u2019t familiar, when I say this guy is a big deal, I mean this guy is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@jaybhuiyan\/video\/7501091955976490286?q=shah\" target=\"_blank\">a biiiiiiig deal<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image subbuzz-index-4 \" data-module=\"subbuzz-image\">\n<h2 class=\"subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title \">\n<p> <span class=\"js-subbuzz__title-text\">The Met Gala is the celebrity event of the year. But anywhere east of Europe, Shah Rukh (or SRK, as he\u2019s widely known) is probably more well-known than the actual Met itself. He\u2019s the most famous actor to ever emerge from India, if not South Asia as a whole, has been in over 100 movies, and has had his work translated into pretty much every language imaginable. It\u2019s hard to really describe SRK\u2019s legacy, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/ranisingh\/2015\/12\/26\/shah-rukh-khan-the-biggest-movie-star-in-the-world\/#452a75691b8f\" target=\"_blank\">Forbes<\/a> summed it up pretty well when, back in 2015, they estimated that he was the biggest movie star in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image subbuzz-index-5 \" data-keywords=\"skincare\" data-module=\"subbuzz-image\">\n<h2 class=\"subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title \">\n<p> <span class=\"js-subbuzz__title-text\">Although a lot of time has passed since that point, SRK\u2019s present day image has shifted from global superstar to a film legend. If you\u2019ve seen any Bollywood movie, you\u2019ll likely know his face. And leading one of the biggest movie industries in the world means he is very famous.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image subbuzz-index-6 \" data-keywords=\"cleaning\" data-module=\"subbuzz-image\">\n<h2 class=\"subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title \">\n<p> <span class=\"js-subbuzz__title-text\">Got the picture yet? Now, imagine the horror spreading through the South Asian community since Monday, when SRK attended the Met Gala and a well-meaning journalist <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TeamSRKWarriors\/status\/1919532162975682807?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1919532162975682807%7Ctwgr%5Efedb482822f3ab4d2e0d61d5b4c6e167bd6f8c9d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fmgmt.ttef.in%2Fwp-admin%2Fadmin.php%3Fpage%3Dworkspace_create\" target=\"_blank\"><i>asked him his name<\/i><\/a>. The very idea!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image subbuzz-index-7 \" data-keywords=\"cleaning\" data-module=\"subbuzz-image\">\n<h2 class=\"subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title \">\n<p> <span class=\"js-subbuzz__title-text\">In all seriousness, Vogue and the two hosts of the Met, Teyana Taylor and Ego Nwodim, have been the subject of a huge amount of scrutiny online since Monday, after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DXaAYqkgfU0\" target=\"_blank\">a clip<\/a> of them interviewing Shah Rukh and designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee (another legend, mind you) went viral for just being <i>so awkward<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image subbuzz-index-8 \" data-keywords=\"cleaning\" data-module=\"subbuzz-image\">\n<h2 class=\"subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title \">\n<p> <span class=\"js-subbuzz__title-text\">While definitely not intentionally dismissive, Ego and Teyana seemingly didn\u2019t have much of an idea exactly who they were talking to. Although they rightfully highlighted how SRK was making history as the first male Indian actor to walk the red carpet at the Met, what followed has since sparked a ton of discourse online.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image subbuzz-index-9 \" data-keywords=\"cleaning\" data-module=\"subbuzz-image\">\n<h2 class=\"subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title \">\n<p> <span class=\"js-subbuzz__title-text\">After being asked how he felt about being at the Met, Shah Rukh said he was \u201cextremely nervous\u201d as well as excited, and he highlighted how Sabyasachi convinced him to attend. \u201cI\u2019ve not done too many red carpets, I\u2019m very shy,\u201d he said. Ego and Teyana then tried to reassure him, pointing out that the carpet was blue instead of red, and asked if that eased his nerves. SRK played along, joking that he was \u201ctotally fine now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image subbuzz-index-10 \" data-module=\"subbuzz-image\">\n<h2 class=\"subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title \">\n<p> <span class=\"js-subbuzz__title-text\">And as the conversation went on, it became clear that SRK was pretty heavily downplaying how much of a big deal it was that he was there, perhaps for the benefit of the interviewers. At that point, Sabyasachi himself chimed in and gave some much-needed info. After Shah Rukh described his look of the night, Sabyasachi jumped in, saying, \u201cJust to give you a little bit of context, Shah Rukh Khan is probably one of the most famous men in the world,\u201d before Ego and Teyana both looked pretty surprised.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image subbuzz-index-11 \" data-keywords=\"cleaning\" data-module=\"subbuzz-image\">\n<h2 class=\"subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title \">\n<p> <span class=\"js-subbuzz__title-text\">\u201cHis fan following is legendary,\u201d Sabyasachi continued. \u201cWe nearly had a stampede outside of the hotel when he came out. And when you get a man like this on the red carpet, especially when it\u2019s Black dandy, I think representation is the most important thing, and we wanted to represent Shah Rukh Khan as Shah Rukh Khan and nobody else.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"subbuzz__media\">\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-subbuzz-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"subbuzz buzz-width--standard__subbuzz buzz-type--list__subbuzz subbuzz-image subbuzz-index-12 \" data-module=\"subbuzz-image\">\n<h2 class=\"subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title \">\n<p> <span class=\"js-subbuzz__title-text\">Vogue\u2019s interview, as well as this viral clip where SRK can be seen introducing himself by name after a reporter asked him who he was, have been shared thousands of times online by outraged fans. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@jhmmedit\/video\/7501449889608371474?lang=en&q=shah\" target=\"_blank\">One commenter said<\/a>, \u201cYall do know there\u2019s a whole world outside of America.
