Several visuals surfaced online showing the King Khan shaking hands with fans and blowing kisses. Fashion watchdog Diet Sabya also shared a video of SRK exiting his hotel. Dressed in an all-black Sabyasachi suit, Shah Rukh looked suave in his Met Gala look. He elevated his outfit by carrying a tiger sceptre in his hands, exuding modern Maharaja vibes.

However, it was his 'K' necklace that stole everyone's attention. With this piece of jewellery, SRK playfully publicly acknowledged his moniker "King Khan", which was given to him by his admirers and media. He also wore multiple-layered gold chains that cascaded down his chest.
