Shah Rukh Khan, often called the King of Bollywood, set New York City abuzz as he became the first Bollywood actor to walk the red carpet at the Met Gala 2025. Several fans waited for hours outside his hotel before the event to get a glimpse of the superstar. One video, in particular, shows a Pakistani fan finally getting to see Khan, which is grabbing attention on social media.

Sehrish, a Pakistani-origin food content creator, settled in New York, filmed herself walking to Khan’s hotel near New York’s iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art. As she reached the hotel, she found a swarm of fans waiting to see the actor. In her video, she also shared that seeing SRK was her childhood dream.

The fan first spotted Sidharth Malhotra and waited, hoping to catch a glimpse of Khan. King Khan made a dashing entry after ace designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee. “I found him!!!! He looked so good. My inner child is so happy,” the caption read.
