Bollywood’s king Shah Rukh Khan recently made his MET Gala debut and stunned everyone with his charming looks and rugged personality. Many celebrated this huge milestone in the actor’s life. But what also caught the attention of the internet, and became a big debate, was the interviews at the MET, not knowing who SRK was. Things quickly became awkward, and the clip went viral on social media. Now, a Reddit thread claims that the actor is mad at his manager and designer Sabyasachi for making him walk the red carpet.
Reddit On SRK’s Met Gala Debut
A Redditor claimed that SRK’s manager, Pooja Dadlani and designer Sabyasachi got an ‘earful’ after the MET Gala. According to them, the King actor did not want to go to the gala in the first place as he never vied for Hollywood’s validation. But his manager decided that he needed more Hollywood exposure for his alleged Marvel stint, which is why the appearance wasn’t preplanned but took place last minute with the help of the Ambanis and the Poonawallas.

According to the thread, the colour black was Shah Rukh’s choice, while accessories were decided by Pooja and Sabyasachi. They quoted, “Sabyasachi wanted a look which would represent his brand, & Pooja wanted a look which would hint at SRK’s stardom & his upcoming film King. The K necklace was Pooja’s idea. Both Sabya & SRK were opposed to it, but as the appearance was planned at a comparatively shorter time, Sabya couldn’t provide a creative backup to replace it.”

When the interview began, SRK was shocked that his manager, Pooja, had failed to introduce him to the hosts, BTS, instead informing them that he was the first male Bollywood actor to walk the MET carpet. Still, he attempted to control the proceedings nicely, but Sabyasachi’s ‘He’s one of the most famous men on the planet’ speech there got him off. SRK, being his usual self, understood how this would backfire.
At the end, the thread claimed that now the star is repenting that he should’ve gone with his gut feeling of no Hollywood appearances.
