Superstar and icon: Shah Rukh Khan makes Met Gala debut in Sabyasachi ensemble

NEW DELHI: (May 6) "I'm Shah Rukh". That was his opening line and also his smashing debut at the Met Gala in an all-black bespoke outfit, complete with crystal chains and a dandy cane, crafted by celebrated designer Sabysachi.
The star, one of India's most popular faces globally, also struck his signature arms-wide-open pose, and won over the crowd, some who knew him and some who didn't, gathered at the blue carpet dotted with daisies.
"I'm Shah Rukh" is how the 59-year-old superstar responded when one of the members of the foreign press asked him to introduce himself. The line quickly became viral on social media with many fans praising SRK's humility and some criticising international media for their ignorance.
