Met Gala 2025: Iconic blue carpet was made by an Indian company, 480 artisans took 90 days to make it, founders are..., is located in...
Met Gala 2025 is a grand celebration of fashion that now is an elite fundraising event for the museum of arts. This year the gala event saw the legendary debut of Shah Rukh Khan, the first Bollywood male actor to ever walk the carpet. In addition to it, actress Kiara Advani, singer Diljit Dosanjh also made stylish and regal debuts at the event.
The walk of fashion that every guest does before entering the venue is at the red carpet which is not so red any more. This year, the Met Gala carpet was blue and adorned with yellow flowers. For the unversed, for third time in a row when the Met Gala carpet was made by Indians. An eco-friendly sustainable weaving house located in Kerala, India is behind the grand charm. A homegrown brand Neytt, is behind the creation. Met Gala 2025 Carpet Made in India
This year the Metropolitan Museum of Art reminded us of the SRK song ' Aaj zameen pe utre kitne sitare hain' , only because the King Khan himself walked the 63480 sqm carpet. This deep blue carpet was crafted by Neytt by Extraweave.
Headquartered in Alappuzha, a coastal town often called the 'Venice of the East,' Neytt by Extraweave is helmed by Sivan Santhosh and Nimisha Srinivas. While the brand itself is a recent player in the global luxury design scene, its roots go back more than a century. In 1917, Santhosh's grandfather, K. Velayudhan, established Travancore Mats and Matting Company, laying the foundation for Kerala's carpet-making industry. Building on this legacy, Velayudhan Santhosh launched Extraweave Pvt. Ltd. in the early 2000s, which would go on to supply rugs and carpets to premium retailers across the globe. View this post on Instagram

Neytt made its Met Gala debut in 2022 and quickly established itself as an integral part of the event's evolving visual storytelling. In 2023, the brand collaborated with legendary Japanese architect Tadao Ando to design a red carpet inspired by the late Karl Lagerfeld—a minimalist yet powerful tribute to the iconic fashion designer. That installation marked a turning point, placing Neytt firmly on the global design map.

Viral: Foreign Vlogger Ordered Pizza During Indian Train Journey, Here's What Happened Next
Train journeys in India are all fun and games. But let us be honest, not everyone likes the food served on trains. At times, it's natural to crave something flavourful - be it burgers or pizzas. But is it possible to order such zesty items while on the train? Well, the answer to this question is a resounding yes. A travel vlogger, Justin Murphy, recently posted a video on Instagram showing viewers how he and his friends relished cheesy pizzas from Domino's during their 14-hour train ride in India.

As the train halts momentarily at Madurai Junction, the vlogger becomes sceptical about whether his order will make it to the station. His doubt soon fades away as he spots a Domino's driver already waiting at the platform. Justin and his pals collect their pizzas and even take a selfie with the delivery agent before hopping back on the train.

When Sonam Kapoor said 'I don't think Shah Rukh wants to work with me' despite getting so many opportunities
Sonam Kapoor is one of the most outspoken actresses we have in Bollywood. She has never hesitated in speaking her mind, and she is loved by many. Well, there was a time when the Aisha star, without any hesitation, spoke about how she doesn't think that Shah Rukh Khan wanted to work with her. Anil Kapoor's daughter also confessed to reaching out to him for the same, but that did not happen. This 2016 interview never gets old. Talking to Filmfare, Sonam Kapoor was questioned about not working with Shah Rukh Khan. To this, the actress casually replied that she doesn't think King Khan wants to work with her. 'There have been so many opportunities… I wanted to work with him and reached out to him as well, but I never got the opportunity. I guess it will happen whenever he feels like working with me.' There was yet another Bollywood Hungama interview, where she had been asked by a fan about why she had not worked with SRK in a film yet? The Kapoor lad replied, saying that she hasn't been offered even a single film with him. Adding on to it, she said, 'No body from Shah Rukh Khan's space has ever offered her a film. Maybe I'm not the kind of actor he wants to work with.' Talking about her personal front, the Zoya Factor actor has been enjoying her married life with husband Anand Ahuja. These two are happily raising their son, Vayu, and the pictures are always dreamy. Recently, she hosted her birthday bash in Mumbai, and it was attended by not just her Kapoor Khaandaan but also her close friends from the industry. The list includes Kareena Kapoor Khan-Saif Ali Khan, Swara Bhasker, Masaba Gupta, Vedang Raina, Pernia Qureshi, Bhumi Pednekar and a lot of other people. Sonam has taken it slow in terms of her professional front after the birth of her son Vayu. She does not have any officially announced films yet. But, reportedly, the actress will be a part of Battle for Bittora.
