On April 27, India's biggest fashion commentator, Diet Sabya, who likes to remain anonymous, took to social media to confirm the news that SRK was all set to make his big Met Gala debut. The fashion commentator mentioned that confirmation was "As per our sources obviously" and also made it very clear that SRK would be collaborating with one of India's most celebrated fashion designers, Sabyasachi, to seal this iconic moment in the history of fashion.
In an earlier post, Diet Sabya teased their fans about the possibility of SRK making a debut, but this confirmation has sent everyone into an absolute frenzy. A comment on the post read, "MET meets King Khan .... He's gonna eat the actress who have been invited", while another Instagram user wrote, "The MET carpet is gonna be more charming than ever. The aura will be unmatched". A netizen also mentioned, "SRK on the Met Gala is long overdue."
This was not the end of it, a discourse was started on Reddit where netizens took over the comment section to express their excitement. The collaboration between Sabyasachi and SRK is indeed an iconic moment that will not only go down in the history of fashion but also in the history of Bollywood. It is also the first time that a male actor from Bollywood is going to walk the Met Gala red carpet.
Coming back to the Reddit discourse, the comment section screamed with thrill and excitement. A comment on the post read, "This is the most surprising SRK update we've had in a while.

There have been rumours about Isha Ambani and Kiara Advani attending the event as well, however, their teams have neither confirmed the rumour nor denied it.
