Shah Rukh Khan And Diljit Dosanjh Snubbed At Met Gala 2025? Vogue Spokesperson Responds: ‘Was Certainly…’

The 2025 Met Gala marked a significant milestone for Indian artists as Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and global music sensation Diljit Dosanjh made their first appearances on the fashion’s most prestigious red carpet. However, netizens pointed out that both stars were given limited screen time during Vogue’s red carpet livestream. Fans alleged that the coverage downplayed their presence and underrepresentation.

Pinkvilla stated, a Vogue spokesperson told The New York Times that the snub “was certainly not intentional,” addressing the moment when the livestream abruptly cut away from Diljit. The spokesperson also clarified that host Ego Nwodim had acknowledged Shah Rukh Khan as the first male Bollywood actor to walk the Met Gala red carpet, denying social media claims that his appearance went unrecognized.

In a viral clip from Met Gala 2025, there were two interviewers who struggled to identify the designer of SRK’s outfit, Sabyasachi Mukherjee. One of the interviewer was seen asking, “And this is the designer tonight?” to which Sabyasachi took over the mic to explain SRK’s global fame. He said, “Shah Rukh Khan is probably one of the most famous men in the world, and his fan following is legendary.”

After the video went viral, fans took to social media to express their anger and disappointment regarding the behaviour of the interviewers. 

The 2025 Met Gala also featured other Indian icons including Priyanka Chopra, Kiara Advani, designers Manish Malhotra and Isha Ambani.
