Dubai: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is likely to add another feather to his ornate cap. According to reports, King Khan, as he's loving called by his legion of fans, will soon make his debut at the Met Gala 2025. Known for maintaining a low profile in recent years and letting his work do the talking, the 59-year-old actor is said to be collaborating with celebrated designer Sabyasachi for the prestigious event.

While neither Khan nor his team have officially commented, fashion insider Diet Sabya fueled the speculation over the weekend. Taking to Instagram, they reacted to the buzz surrounding SRK’s rumored appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art this May, dropping a post that hinted strongly at his participation.

If confirmed, Shah Rukh Khan would become the first Indian male actor to officially walk the iconic Met Gala red carpet — a major moment in Bollywood and Met Gala history.

Until now, Indian representation at the event has largely been led by actresses such as Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt. Media reports also suggest that Kiara Advani, who is expecting her first child with Sidharth Malhotra, and Diljit Dosanjh will also make appearances at this year's gala.

The internet went into a meltdown when Diet Sabya dropped this Bollywood news.

"National headlines. Threads in meltdown. Entertainment sites foaming at the mouth. Twitter frenzy et al. Time to shut it down lol. We at DietSabya can confirm: yes, that is indeed SRK — India’s undisputed generational superstar — making his Met Gala debut in May 2025, wearing Sabyasachi (India’s biggest luxury brand). But wait, was there ever a doubt? Are we excited? Or…? Catch you on the carpet."

The 2025 Met Gala will follow the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion. The dress code, "Tailored for You," invites guests to explore and celebrate the evolution of Black menswear through personalized couture interpretations.

While fans await official confirmation, excitement around SRK's potential debut is already reaching a fever pitch.
