“I Could Have Run Away,” SRK Admits

In an interview with The New York Times, Shah Rukh Khan shared that he felt like running away from the event because he was so shy and nervous. He said, “I’ve never been this nervous in my life.” The actor, who is known for his charm and confidence, admitted that he’s not really into fashion. “I’m a jeans-and-T-shirt person,” he added.

Still, he spent a whole day shopping in New York City just to find the perfect pair of jeans, proving he does care about style—just in his own way.

He Wore What Made Him Feel Comfortable

SRK’s designer Sabyasachi said that the actor wanted to wear something comfortable and without shoulder pads, as he finds them awkward. SRK doesn’t like clothes that make him feel stiff or unnatural.

He Attended Just for Aryan and Suhana

Shah Rukh also said that the only reason he agreed to attend the Met Gala was because his kids were excited. His older children, Aryan and Suhana, encouraged him to go. “They were really excited. I don’t know if it was ‘Wow, they invited you?’ or ‘Wow, you’ll do great!’” he said with a smile.

He also revealed that designer Sabyasachi had to convince him to attend after receiving the invite. “I’ve not done too many red carpets. I’m very shy. This is a first for me,” SRK admitted during the red carpet interview with Vogue.
