00:00We are here with Shahrukh Khan, who is the first male Bollywood actor to attend the Met Gala.
00:05Please tell us how it feels to make history tonight.
00:08I don't know about history, but I'm extremely nervous and excited.
00:13And Sabe here, Sabe Saachi, who convinced me to come here.
00:16I've not done too many red carpets. I'm very shy.
00:18For me, it's the first time. But looking at you both, it's wonderful to be here.
00:23Oh, thank you.
00:24The carpet tonight is actually blue. So does that make you any less nervous?
00:27Yes. Now I'm absolutely all right.
00:30It's okay. Now I'm all day now.
00:32Everything changes. And when you find out it's a blue carpet.
00:34Right. No, the blue carpet looks good, too.
00:36Yeah.
00:37Everybody looks good.
00:37I think so. I think so. What are you most excited about tonight?
00:42For me, most exciting is I have little kids who are very excited about Met.
00:46I don't know if I would have come here on my own, but when Sabe suggested that I should come, they went, wow.
00:52So I still don't know, is it wow? They called you.
00:54Wow. Then you'll be good on it.
00:56What was your inspiration behind this look, like tonight's look?
01:00Tonight's look is because I told Sabir that I only wear black and white.
01:03But what he's designed for me is what I'm most comfortable in.
01:07Because that's how I think it should be.
01:09So I'm really excited.
01:11Yeah.
01:11The stick special.
01:12Yeah.
01:13Oh, I love this.
01:13That's cold.
01:15And just to give you a little bit of context, Shah Rukh Khan is probably one of the most famous men in the world.
01:19And his fan following is legendary.
01:21And we nearly had a stampede outside the hotel when he came out.
01:25And, you know, when you get a man like this on the red carpet, especially when it's black dandy, I think representation is the most important thing.
01:32And we wanted to represent Shah Rukh Khan as Shah Rukh Khan and nobody else.
01:35Okay.
01:35Well, Sabir, I think you did your thing.
01:37Shah Rukh Khan, you look fantastic.
01:38I hope your kids are proud.
01:40You've got to be proud of Dad.
01:41Dad did his thing.
01:43Dad did his thing, yeah.
01:44Yeah.
01:44That you daddy on a carpet.
01:45Now you've got to go on a carpet and show the kids, listen.
01:48I'll be so cool on the carpet for my kids.
01:50You don't know.
01:50Yeah.
01:50Daddy.
01:51I'm going to rock it.
01:52Yes.
01:52All right.
01:53Dad.
01:53Thank you so much.
01:55You're kind.
01:56Thank you both of you.
01:56Thank you so much.
