Shah Rukh Khan Styled The Sabyasachi Look With A Walking Stick Featuring A Gold Tiger Head
Shah Rukh Khan accessorised with Sabyasachi High Jewellery featuring multiple statement chains at the MET Gala 2025
Shah Rukh Khan has embraced 'dandyism' in his style for many decades and the MET Gala was not different. MET Gala 2025 marked the global superstar's debut on the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art's stairs.
Even in uniformity, Sabyasachi maintained Shah Rukh Khan's individuality. An homage to the iconic house insignia, the Royal Bengal Tiger, its beauty, ferocity and strength was celebrated with Shah Rukh Khan. Shah Rukh walked on the blue carpet sporting a walking stick—a handcrafted wooden beauty with a solid gold tiger head.
The dress code for the evening was Tailored for You, which was a nod to the Superfine: Tailoring Black Style exhibition's focus on suiting and menswear. Shah Rukh Khan's ensemble designed by couturier Sabyasachi Mukherjee was a celebration of the undeniable impact of creativity in fashion and culture.
Sabyasachi has always believed that the future of artisanal crafts and handwoven textiles is in luxury, and that is India's biggest strength and contribution to both fashion and jewellery. Styled by Shaleena Nathani, Shah Rukh's MET Gala look was accentuated with Sabyasachi High Jewellery pieces featuring multiple statement chains. The highlight of the jewellery pieces was the SRK encrusted pendant and the massive K pendant embellished with diamonds that showed everyone who the real King is. Shah Rukh's all black ensemble featured a long blazer.

Shah Rukh blew kisses to the fans on the blue carpet and showed everyone who the true Kind of Cinema is! While we expected some desi dandyism in SRK's style, we love that he never fails to leave an impressionable impact wherever he goes. MET Gala was iconic and he is the first Indian male actor to grace fashion's biggest night.
With the focus on suiting and menswear, the red carpet saw silhouettes and accessories styled and interpreted by various celebrities including Zendaya, Teyana Taylor, Lewis Hamilton, Emma Chamberlain, Gigi Hadid, Joe King, Sydney Sweeney, Pharrell Williams, Gina Alice, Manish Malhotra, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Mona Patel, Zoe Saldana, Miley Cyrus, Diana Ross, among others.
This year's MET Gala was co-chaired by Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour.

Baazigar's Original Ending Had Kajol Killing Shah Rukh Khan
Abbas-Mustan share how Baazigar almost had a different ending, and why Shah Rukh Khan's character needed emotional depth. Before Shah Rukh Khan became the poster boy for romance, he shook up the '90s with a role few saw coming — a cold, calculating killer in Baazigar. Directors Abbas-Mustan recently reflected on how the thriller nearly turned out very differently. Speaking about the film's early development, the duo recalled how new the idea felt at the time. Mustan said, as quoted in SCREEN, 'It was a new concept at that time. We thought of Shah Rukh's character as a hero; he was negative, but he was our hero, and also, you have to understand why he did what he did in the film. For instance, if some character is doing something negative, but in the background he has some good qualities or there is a reason for him to turn negative, then if his character turns negative, that is also okay." But the original script was far more brutal. Mustan revealed that the early version of the film ended with the lead actress killing Shah Rukh's character. 'In the first draft of the film, the hero was an out-and-out negative character who saw a tough childhood as his father would be a drunk, and he would beat his mother, and the kid would grow up wishing that he would become rich one day. After growing up, the character decides to get into a relationship with both daughters of a millionaire and eventually kill one of the daughters to take over the millionaire's empire. Later, the second girl gets to know about the character's intention and kills him. This was the first draft of the film." That ending was eventually scrapped. The filmmakers felt the story needed more than just revenge and shock value — it needed heart. 'We realised that the film would not work without emotions, and the biggest emotion is the mother and father's." So they rewrote the film, giving Shah Rukh's character a tragic backstory involving a murdered father, a wronged mother and a sister he loved dearly. Abbas-Mustan took time from the producers to reshape the story. 'Screenplay was the most important aspect of Baazigar," Mustan said. The result was a film that not only redefined what a Bollywood hero could be but also became a box office hit. Baazigar told the story of Ajay Sharma, a man driven by vengeance, who cons his way into the lives of a businessman's daughters, murders one, and falls in love with the other before dying in the end. Even today, it stands as one of Shah Rukh Khan's most daring roles — one where he was the villain, but also the hero.

Did you know Baazigar's original ending had Kajol kill Shah Rukh Khan? Abbas-Mustan calls SRK's character 'out-and-out negative'
Baazigar, a thriller, marked a turning point for Shah Rukh Khan. Directors Abbas-Mustan revealed the original script's darker elements. The initial plot involved a more negative character and a different ending. Kajol's character was to deliver justice by killing Shah Rukh Khan's character. The directors later shifted the focus to emotional depth. Baazigar was a turning point in Shah Rukh Khan 's career and in Bollywood storytelling. The 1993 thriller dared to cast SRK as a morally complex anti-hero at a time when clean-cut heroes dominated the silver screen. Now, decades later, the film's directors Abbas-Mustan, in an interview with Lucky Bisht, have revealed that the original script was even bolder—with a darker plot and a completely different ending that had Kajol's character delivering justice by killing SRK's. A Risky Move for Its Time Abbas-Mustan admitted that Baazigar's concept was quite unconventional for its time. While many saw Shah Rukh Khan's character as a villain, the directors always viewed him as the film's hero. Mustan explained that although the character had a dark side, his actions were driven by a deeper motive. According to them, when a negative character is given emotional depth or a justifiable reason for their behavior, the audience is more likely to empathize with them — which is exactly what they aimed for with SRK's role. The Original Ending Mustan also revealed that the original draft of Baazigar was significantly darker than the final version. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Many Are Watching Tariffs - Few Are Watching What Nvidia Just Launched Seeking Alpha Read More Undo In that version, Shah Rukh Khan's character was portrayed as entirely negative—shaped by a traumatic childhood involving an abusive, alcoholic father. Driven by a desire to become rich, he manipulates his way into relationships with both daughters of a wealthy businessman, ultimately killing one of them to gain control over the family's fortune. The twist in that early draft? The second daughter discovers his true intentions and ends up killing him, bringing the story full circle with her act of justice. From Thriller to Emotional Drama Mustan further shared that while the original draft leaned heavily into a dark, thriller tone, they later drew inspiration from iconic filmmakers like Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra, who emphasized emotional storytelling. Realizing that the film needed a deeper emotional core to resonate with audiences, they reworked the script to give Shah Rukh Khan's character a strong backstory. This included his bond with his mother, the trauma of his father's death, and the loss of his younger sister. Mustan revealed they approached the producer to explain the shift in the storyline and asked for additional time to craft a more emotionally engaging screenplay. In his words, it was the emotional depth—and not just the suspense—that became Baazigar's most crucial element. Baazigar follows Shah Rukh's character as he seeks revenge against businessman Madan Chopra for ruining his family. Posing under a false identity, he dates Chopra's daughters, kills one, and later falls for the other. The film ends with Ajay's death in a violent confrontation.
