'I’m Shah Rukh': Video of SRK introducing himself before media goes viral | WATCH

Shah Rukh Khan made history as the first Indian male actor to strut his stuff on the red carpet at the Met Gala 2025. Wearing an all-black outfit covered in statement pieces of jewelry from Sabyasachi, Shah Rukh Khan stunned everyone with his breathtaking look. The actor's confidence and charm on the red carpet were undeniable, and he completely overshadowed the event.

International Media's reaction to Shah Rukh Khan

But a going-viral video of SRK introducing himself to the media has left fans in stitches. In the video, Shah Rukh Khan is heard saying, "I'm Shah Rukh," before greeting the press. It seems the international media could not recognize him, and fans were upset with their reaction. A lot of them used social media to react to their ignorance about the actor.

So the reporter didn’t know who he was… and he replied simply: “I’m Shah Rukh”.

And then made no bones about the fact that he had never heard of the Met Gala until a few months ago.

Fans respond to international Media's reactions

A Twitter user tweeted, "It's 2025. If you're covering the Met Gala, you should be aware of who Shah Rukh Khan is." Another online user commented on Reddit, "Perhaps they go home and Google him and see how popular he really is." Fans were amazed that the international media did not know the actor, considering his worldwide popularity and influence.

What Shah Rukh Khan thinks about his attire

Later in the same video, Shah Rukh Khan discusses his attire and how it was inspired. He gives credit to his designer Sabyasachi for devising the idea, which he calls an expression of freedom and stand against oppression. SRK remarks, "My designer, Sabyasachi  he came up with it, and looked at it as an expression of liberty, of trying to be firm and strong against things that can overpower you."

Shah Rukh Khan's creative process

When asked if he had ever heard of this idea before or had thoughts that he never acted upon, SRK answers, "No, honestly, but I learned about it now. So in the last 20 days, I figured out what it was. And being an actor, I thought it was very interesting how the desire to change things without oppression or fury can still have the exuberance of art in it. So yeah, that was great." This proves that Shah Rukh Khan is not just a good actor but also a creative and introspective person who has a respect for the art of fashion and design.
