As the great Bollywood actor headed for the Met Gala 2025, Sehrish fulfilled her childhood dream of seeing the man himself live.
'Come with me to find Shah Rukh Khan in NYC," the lady said in an Instagram clip posted on her account 'sehrish.eats'. Sehrish walked up to the actor's hotel near the Metropolitan Museum of Art and joined a host of fans waiting outside just to get one glimpse of Khan, who made his first-ever visit to the Met Gala – a celebration of fashion that famous personalities from all over the globe take part in.
'Love of my life, light of my life, my entire dil — King Khan," said Sehrish in the video as she got the chance to see one of the biggest superstars of Indian cinema. 'I found him, he looked so good! My inner child is so happy," Sehrish captioned the video that has attracted 2.7 million views and worldwide comments.
Fans of SRK were especially keen to know how the content creator found out where he stayed for the Met Gala event while others congratulated her and poured their heart out. 'Girl how did y'all know what hotel he was at? I'm glad you got to see him!," one fan asked the woman. Netflix then made a filmy remark, stating: 'Har pal har ghadi har waqt mere naina mere SRK ko doondhte hai."
Apart from Khan, other Bollywood actors were also present at the event. Sehrish initially spotted Sidharth Malhotra, which only raised her hopes of also meeting her favourite Indian star.
In the video, a red carpet was laid out for all the visiting personalities. The first to walk out was Sabyasachi, the designer of Khan's outfit at his Met Gala debut. Finally, the superstar came out and was instantly swarmed by a large crowd. And that's how Sehrish lived her childhood dream.

Beijing auction house sells Labubu figurine at whopping ₹1.28 crore
A Beijing auction house reportedly sold a human-sized Labubu figure for 1.08 million Yuan ($150,275.51) which values to more than ₹1.2 crore on Tuesday. This value has set a new record for the "blind box" toy as it makes its way from a commodity of craze to a collectible souvenir. Labubu, a collectible plush toy and figurine based on a character from the The Monsters series by Hong Kong-based designer Kasing Lung and marketed by Pop Mart, has become hugely popular across the world. Labubu are toothy monster figurines that are mainly sold by China's toy company Pop Mart and have been at the centre of a global frenzy for the past year. In 2019, Lung agreed to let Labubu be sold by Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company that markets collectable figurines often sold in "blind boxes". At the Beijing auction, the highest grossing item, a mint green, 131 cm (4.3 feet) tall Labubu figure, received several bids before it was sold for 1.08 million Yuan ( ₹1.28 crore). It is the only one available in the world, the auctioneer told Reuters. A set of three Labubu figurines, about 40 cm tall and made of PVC material, were sold for 510,000 Yuan ( ₹60.76 lakh). The set belonged to a series called 'Three Wise Labubu'. It was limited to a run of 120 sets in 2017 and another one sold for HKD 203,200 ₹22.15 lakh) at Sotheby's recent Hong Kong auction. The event was held by Yongle International Auction in Beijing. Founded in 2005, the 20-year-old auction traditionally specialises in modern art as well as jewellery. It recently marked its first ever event dedicated to Labubu. The auction offered 48 Labubu lots for sale and saw almost 200 bidders, while over a thousand put down offers via Yongle's mobile app, the auction house said. The starting price for all the items started at zero and it eventually raised a total of 3.73 million Yuan(over ₹4 Cr). Retailed by Popmart, blind boxes are a type of mystery box that contain collectible figurines, usually part of a series. A buyer of a blind box toy does not know exactly what design they will receive until they open the packaging. The starting price for Labubu blind box toys sold in Pop Mart's stores is around 50 Yuan( ₹595). The character's popularity was triggered after Lisa of the Korean pop music group Blackpink was spotted with a Labubu figurine and praised the doll in interviews and online posts followed by several other celebrities. In May, British football star David Beckham shared a photo on Instagram of his Labubu doll attached to a bag. Indian celebrities like Twinkle Khanna, Ananya Panday, Sharvari Wagh, and global stars like Rihanna and Dua Lipa have also been spotted with their Labubu dolls, further adding to the craze. One Yongle auction bidder, a restaurant owner who registered her surname as Du, walked away empty handed as she wanted to spend a maximum of just 20,000 Yuan while the figurine sold for a thumping value of 1.08 million Yuan. "My child likes it so every time when Labubu released new products we will buy one or two items. It is hard to explain its popularity but it must have moved this generation," she told Reuters.

‘Simple rakha hai sab kuch, ghar mein studio-shooting ka feel nahi chahiye': Inside Johnny Lever's sea-facing home in Mumbai
For decades, Johnny Lever has been the heartbeat of Indian comedy — a master of mimicry, physical comedy, and unscripted joy. But away from the stage and screen, his home reveals a quieter, more soulful version of the man who has made India laugh. Tucked into Mumbai's Lokhandwala, Johnny's duplex home is not about opulence, but emotion — a space built with intention, rooted in family, and rich in memory. 'Mera favourite jagah? Yeh hi hai actually… yeh hall,' he shares with a smile, seated comfortably in his living room. 'Yahan main aata hoon, mera homework karta hoon, main filmein dekhta hoon, videos dekhta hoon… ek khazana hai na, sab kuch milta hai yahan.' This hall isn't just a room — it's his sanctuary for watching films, rehearsing, and often simply sitting in stillness with his thoughts. The walls of the house are alive with stories — like the 1983 engagement photograph he points to, captured just after his father arranged his marriage. 'Mainne toh chehra bhi nahi dekha tha… bas shaadi ho gayi.' It's not said with regret, but with a rare kind of affection — his bond with his wife, who designed the house interiors herself, is visible in the care and simplicity of every corner. Their home is built on two levels — the upper one designed for their children, the lower one for larger gatherings. 'Simple rakha hai sab kuch… ghar mein studio-shooting ka feel nahi chahiye. Ghar toh ghar hona chahiye,' he explains. 'Hamari family bohot badi hai. Sab jab aate hain toh neeche bhi party hoti hai, upar bhi hoti hai. Prayers hoti hain, prayer meetings hoti hain.' Though now a celebrated star with a long list of accolades — including a Filmfare Award for 'Deewana Mastana', which he proudly displays — Johnny speaks with profound humility about his beginnings. 'Pehla ghar Dharavi mein tha, chawl thi. Uske baad slums mein aaye… jhopadpatti abhi bhi hai. Mera jhopda abhi bhi hai wahan.' He still visits. 'Kisi ki shaadi hai, function hai… log aate hain, hum jaate hain.' The journey from chawls to a Lokhandwala duplex was not just financial but deeply emotional. '1990 mein yeh ghar liya, duplex… teen bedroom hall, upar ek aur teen bedroom hall. Pehle upar wala flat 20 lakh mein liya tha… phir neeche wala 4 crore mein.' He laughs gently, '20 times badh gaya price!' Even his neighbours reflect his place in Bollywood's beating heart: 'Sridevi ji ka bhi yahan flat tha.' Every part of his home is touched by thought — a quote in the house that reads 'By wisdom a house is built…' holds special meaning for him. 'Buddhimatta se ghar banta hai, understanding se establish hota hai… aur knowledge se ghar bhara rehta hai.' Even in his 60s, Johnny's passion for performance remains unshaken. 'Roz practice karta hoon, roz. Chhe saat ghante baithta hoon… alag alag cheezen dekhta rehta hoon.' His hall, he says, becomes his dance rehearsal space when joy overflows. 'Main jab bohot khush hota hoon… toh yahin baithta hoon, dance practice karta hoon.' And when he needs a moment of reflection? He opens his balcony door. 'Lokhandwala ka pura nazara… Mudland bhi dikhai deta hai. Roz walk pe jaata hoon.'
