Shah Rukh Khan snubbed at Met Gala as reporter asks who he is in viral red carpet moment

Fans slam international media for not recognising the Bollywood legend during his historic debut appearance.

Shah Rukh Khan snubbed at Met Gala

Red carpet shocker as Met Gala reporter fails to recognise Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan made headlines around the world when he stepped onto the Met Gala red carpet in New York for the first time. Dressed in an elegant black outfit designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, he made history as the first Indian male actor to attend the prestigious fashion event. But while the moment was monumental for many fans, it was marred by an awkward interaction with international media that didn’t sit well with his supporters.

A now-viral video from the event shows a foreign reporter asking the actor to introduce himself. “Hi, I’m Shah Rukh,” he replied, smiling and unbothered. The moment might have been brief, but it struck a nerve with fans online who were quick to point out the irony that one of the world’s most recognisable film stars had to explain who he was on a platform celebrating global culture.


“This is Shah Rukh Khan. A man who caused a near-stampede outside his hotel. A man known across continents,” wrote a fan online. Others questioned how journalists covering such a high-profile event could be unaware of the Bollywood icon’s presence. “If you’re covering the Met Gala, at least know who’s walking the carpet,” another user added.

Sabyasachi, who stood beside Shah Rukh during the red-carpet interaction, later addressed the situation. He reminded the press that the actor wasn’t just a guest in the crowd but a global superstar with millions of fans and decades of cinematic legacy behind him.

The designer’s outfit for Khan, a long Tasmanian wool coat, silk shirt, tailored trousers, and layered jewellery fit the event’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which honoured centuries of Black fashion history. The cane he carried, topped with a tiger head in 18k gold and precious stones, added to the grandeur.

Despite the awkward moment, Shah Rukh remained gracious throughout. When asked about his experience, he admitted he didn’t know much about the Met Gala until recently but appreciated the artistic vision behind it. “I liked that it’s about change through art, not anger,” he said.

While the incident may have caught many off guard, Shah Rukh’s calm and classy response only reaffirmed why he’s still considered royalty on and off the red carpet.

Highlights:

  • Spain leads a growing boycott movement, with Ireland, the Netherlands and Slovenia also refusing to participate if Israel competes.
  • The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is in crisis talks, extending its decision deadline to December 2025.
  • The situation draws direct comparisons to Russia’s exclusion in 2022, creating a precedent the EBU must now navigate.
  • The core dilemma pits Eurovision’s non-political ideals against the stark reality of a humanitarian crisis.

The Eurovision Song Contest, that glitter-drenched annual spectacle of pop and unity, is staring into the abyss. The escalating call for a Eurovision boycott over Israel's participation, against the backdrop of the ongoing Gaza conflict, has put the organisers into their most severe political crisis yet. This isn't just about another song entry but a fundamental clash between the contest's cherished apolitical fantasy and the inescapable geopolitics of the real world, threatening to tear the competition apart from within.
