Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has officially landed in New York City ahead of his much-anticipated debut at the Met Gala 2025. The global icon will walk the red carpet for the very first time at the high-profile fashion event, which is scheduled for May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The actor was spotted at John F. Kennedy International Airport, arriving in style, yet keeping things casual. Accompanied by his longtime manager, Pooja Dadlani, Shah Rukh greeted fans warmly. He hugged one admirer at the terminal, and even waved and shook hands while being escorted by a US customs official. His kind gestures quickly went viral, with fans flooding social media platforms like X and Instagram with photos and videos.

Dressed in a white T-shirt, grey hooded jacket, and relaxed-fit cargo jeans, the actor looked effortlessly cool as he carried his own luggage. Fans couldn't help but gush over his down-to-earth demeanor and fashion-forward airport look. One fan captioned their video on Instagram with SRK’s iconic line from Om Shanti Om, “Agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho … to poori kainaat use tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai.”
