Many called it “disrespectful” that the camera cut away from the Chamkila star within seconds. Similarly, the red carpet hosts, Ego Nwodim and Teyana Taylor, appeared unaware of Shah Rukh Khan’s global stardom until designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee intervened and highlighted his iconic status.Addressing the criticism, a spokesperson clarified to The New York Times that the cutaway during Diljit’s appearance was “certainly not intentional.” They also pointed out that the hosts did acknowledge Shah Rukh as the first male Bollywood actor to walk the Met Gala red carpet.
