Adding a touch of personal connection, Khloe revealed how she first came to know about the iconic actor. “I first learned about him when I visited India with Kim last year,” she shared, referencing her trip to India in July 2024 with her sister Kim Kardashian to attend the pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. This visit seemingly left a lasting impression and introduced her to the phenomenon that is Shah Rukh Khan.
Khloe also expressed her fondness for the striking “K” necklace that SRK sported, a custom piece designed by Sabyasachi featuring his initial. “And of course I’m a fan of the K necklace (wink face emoji),” she wrote, acknowledging the signature accessory that added a personal touch to the superstar’s look.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Met Gala debut has been a widely discussed topic, with his elegant black coat, tailored trousers, and the symbolic Bengal Tiger Head Cane garnering attention. His attire perfectly aligned with the event’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” while also subtly nodding to his iconic status and Indian heritage.
SRK himself acknowledged the experience on social media, thanking Sabyasachi for making him feel comfortable at an event that he initially felt was not his “space.” He wrote, “Style & Fashion…is just being who you are. And all of u made me feel like a ‘K’!”
