At the 2025 Met Gala, Bollywood icons Shah Rukh Khan and Diljit Dosanjh made their much-anticipated debut, marking a proud moment for South Asian representation on one of fashion’s biggest global stages. However, what should have been a celebratory appearance sparked controversy online.
Fans were quick to notice how the stars received little screen time and attention during Vogue’s red carpet livestream. Responding to the backlash, a Vogue spokesperson told The New York Times that the coverage “was certainly not intentional” in cutting away from Diljit so quickly. They also clarified that host Ego Nwodim had acknowledged Shah Rukh as the first male Bollywood actor to walk the Met red carpet, contrary to claims that his presence was overlooked.
This is a developing story. Stay tuned.
