Shah Rukh Khan on Being the First Male Bollywood Actor at the Met Gala | Vogue

We are here with Shahrukh Khan, who is the first male Bollywood actor to attend the Met Gala. Please tell us how it feels to make history tonight. I don't know about history, but I'm extremely nervous and excited. And Sabyasachi, who convinced me to come here. I've not done too many red carpets, I'm very shy. For me it's the first time, but looking at you both, it's wonderful to be here. Oh, thank you. The carpet tonight is actually blue, so does that make you any less nervous? Yes, now I'm absolutely alright. I'm all day now. Everything changes when you find out it's a blue carpet. The blue carpet looked good too. I think so, I think so. What are you most excited about tonight? For me, most exciting is I have little kids who are very excited about Met. I don't know if I would have come here on my own, but when Sabya suggested that I should come, they went wow. So I still don't know, is it wow, they called you, wow, then you'll be good on it. What was your inspiration behind this look, like tonight's look? Tonight's look is because I told Sabya that I only wear black and white, but what he's designed for me is what I'm most comfortable in. That's how I think it should be. So I'm really excited. The stick special. That's cold. Just to give you a little bit of context, Shah Rukh Khan is probably one of the most famous men in the world. And his fan following is legendary and we nearly had a stampede outside the hotel when he came out. And when you get a man like this on the red carpet, especially when it's black dandy, I think representation is the most important thing. And we wanted to represent Shah Rukh Khan as Shah Rukh Khan and nobody else. Okay, well Sabya, I think you did your thing. Shah Rukh, you look fantastic. I hope your kids are proud. You got to be proud of dad. Dad did his thing. That you daddy on the carpet. Now you got to go on the carpet and show the kids. I'll be so cool on the carpet for my kids, you don't know. I'm going to do it. I'm going to rock it, yes. Thank you, you're kind. Thank you both of you, thank you so much.
