Khan
expressed
gratitude
to
designer
Sabyasachi
and
his
team
for
making
him
feel
‘comfortable’
in
a
‘space’
that
doesn’t
belong
to
him.
‘Thx

SRK
is
the
first
Indian
male
actor
to
appear
at
the
MET
Gala.
For
Shah
Rukh’s
Met
Gala
appearance,
Sabyasachi
created
a
black
floor-length
elongated
coat
in
Tasmanian
superfine
wool
with
monogrammed
Japanese
horn
buttons.
The
coat
is
hand
canvassed,
single-breasted
with
a
peak
collar
and
wide
lapels,
paired
with
a
crepe
de
chine
silk
shirt
and
tailored
superfine
wool
trousers.
A
pleated
satin
kamarbandh
completed
this
bespoke
look.
SRK
layered
the
outfit
with
a
custom
stack
and
complemented
with
The
Bengal
Tiger
Head
Cane
crafted
in
18k
gold
with
tourmalines,
sapphires,
old
mine
cut
and
brilliant
cut
diamonds.
He
also
wore
an
ultra-luxury
Patek
Philippe
Grand
Complications
6300G
wristwatch,
which
reportedly
cost
$2.5
million.

While
India
was
understandably
excited
about
SRK’s
MET
Gala
appearance,
the
foreign
media
didn’t
recognise
him.
A
viral
video
shows
SRK
introducing
himself
during
an
interview
on
the
blue
carpet.
‘Hi,
I’m
Shah
Rukh,’
SRK
tells
a
mediaperson
modestly,
when
he
was
asked
to
introduce
himself
and
his
designer,
and
his
outfit
for
the
evening.
‘My
designer
Sabyasachi…he
thought
of
it.
For
him,
it’s
an
expression
of
freedom
and
trying
to
be
resolute
and
resilient
against
things
that
can
oppress
you,’
SRK
adds.
The
reporter
went
on
to
ask,
‘Have
you
ever
heard
of
this
or
have
you
had
ideas
before
and
never
tested
it?’
SRK
admits,
‘Honestly,
no,
but
I
got
to
know
now.
So
the
last
20
days,
I
got
to
understand
what
it
was.
And
being
an
actor,
I
thought
it
was
very
interesting
how
the
resolve
to
change
things
without
oppression
or
anger,
but
have
exuberance
of
art
in
it.
So
yeah,
that
was
marvelous.’

Earlier,
during
his
interaction
with
the
media,
SRK
said
he
was
‘nervous’
before
his
debut
and
that
it
was
Sabyasachi
who
convinced
him
to
go
for
it.
‘I
am
extremely
nervous
and
excited.
I’ve
not
done
many
red
carpets,
I’m
very
shy,’
SRK
says.
His
children,
SRK
revealed,
were
excited
by
the
idea
of
him
being
a
part
of
the
Met
Gala.
