Shah Rukh Khan is ready to step into Met Gala history. The Bollywood star will make his debut at the 2025 event, becoming the first Indian male actor to walk the famous red carpet, according to fashion insider Diet Sabya.

The event, scheduled for 5 May at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, will see SRK dressed by leading Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee. The collaboration between two of India's biggest names, one from cinema, the other from fashion, is already being seen as a huge moment.


Diet Sabya, known for revealing fashion scoops, shared the news on Instagram on 27 April, confirming that Shah Rukh would attend the gala wearing Sabyasachi. Their post said, "National headlines. Threads in meltdown. Entertainment sites foaming at the mouth. Twitter frenzy et al. Time to shut it down lol. We can confirm: yes, that is indeed SRK, India’s generational superstar making his Met Gala debut in May 2025, wearing Sabyasachi."


Hints about this pairing had started swirling earlier in April when Diet Sabya dropped a cryptic post hinting at "two titans" collaborating for a historic Met Gala moment. Fans quickly put two and two together, speculating about Shah Rukh and Sabyasachi teaming up.

This year's Met Gala theme is "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion. The exhibition will explore the history and influence of Black menswear from the 18th century to today. The dress code for attendees is “Tailored for You,” encouraging personal interpretations of the theme.


Shah Rukh won’t be the only Indian face at this year’s gala. Reports suggest that Diljit Dosanjh is also expected to make his debut, possibly representing Google Pixel, while Kiara Advani, who is currently expecting her first child, is also rumoured to attend.

While official images of Shah Rukh's outfit are under wraps, the buzz around his debut is intense. The pairing of SRK’s global fame with Sabyasachi’s distinctive design sensibility is expected to be a powerful moment for Indian representation at one of fashion’s biggest stages.

All eyes are now on 5 May, waiting to see how the King of Bollywood brings a touch of India to the world’s most watched red carpet.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
