Did Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra turn into Don and Roma at Met Gala 2025? Fans say ‘blast from the past'
Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra were among the celebrities who attended the Met Gala 2025. Their outfits sparked nostalgia among fans and reminded them of their iconic 2006 film, Don. But how?
Shah Rukh and Priyanka's Met Gala outfits held an uncanny resemblance to what they wore at a promotional event for Don.
In Don, Shah Rukh played the iconic role as Don while Priyanka appeared as Roma.
After Don's success, the duo went on to star again in the 2011 sequel, Don 2.
In 2007, Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka attended a polo match in Delhi, sometime after Don's release in 2006. While Shah Rukh wore a black suit at the event, Priyanka turned heads in a black-and-white polka-dotted halter-neck dress.
For this year's Met Gala in New York, Priyanka arrived holding hands with her husband, singer Nick Jonas. She wore a stunning polka dot suit dress by Olivier Rousteing, going with the theme. Nick, on the other hand, was wearing Bianca Saunders.
Shah Rukh Khan made his debut at the Met Gala this season in an all-black bespoke outfit. He finished off his outfit with crystal chains and a dandy cane, crafted by iconic designer Sabyasachi.
Talking about Priyanka and Shah Rukh's appearance, someone wrote on Reddit, 'Srk & Priyanka were definitely on theme for each other, is this some kind of code language that only they can understand.' 'The way they are matching it like this is so funny,' the caption further read.
Responding to the post, a user wrote in the comments, 'Blast from the past on another level OP." 'The actual Jab they "MET" gala," joked another user, referring to Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor's film Jab We Met.
"This is on another level," added someone else.
While Priyanka Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan attended the MET gala in New York, they were not spotted together at the event.
Besides them, Diljit Dosanjh also marked his debut at the Met Gala this year with his maharaja look.
Mom-to-be Kiara Advani made a splash in a Gaurav Gupta attire.
Flaunting her baby bump, her dress featured a heart-shaped gold breastplate around the strapless neckline that was connected to another gold-plated mini heart on the waist with a chain, referring to the umbilical cord.
The dress also came with a floor-length white cape. In fact, her look reminded many of Aishwarya Rai from the 77th Cannes Film Festival.

India's highest-paid comedian, once sold eggs on street, then charged more than Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, used to scare heroes with his…, name was…
Names like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Prabhas, are highest-paid actors today, charging over Rs 150 crore per film precisely. These superstars headline mass entertainers, the genre that majorly dominates the box office. So, it would be difficult to imagine a time when the title of India's highest-paid actor was once held by a comedian. Well, today we will be discussing this talented artist whose impeccable films and hilarious performances etched his name in the Indian Industry forever. In 1960s, he wasn't just India's leading comedian, but also a bankable star in his own right. He was none other than Mehmood, son of Mumtaz Ali, who was a dancer and actor in Bombay Talkies. Mehmood's family faced severe financial challenges due to which his father fell into alcoholism and lost his career. Due to unfortunate circumstances, he became the sole earner of his family. To make ends meet, Mehmood did several odd jobs to survive. He worked as a driver, sold eggs on street, also became a horse-riding instructor and tennis coach. During this difficult phase, he managed to enter the film industry and stared working as a junior artiste. In 1950s, he made his name as comic character actor by appearing in supporting roles like CID and Pyasa. Following that, he led many successful films like Padosan, Bhoot Bungla, Johar Mehmood in Hong Kong, Bombay to Goa, and became the highest-paid actor in the country. Reportedly, Mehmood used to charge Rs 7.5 lakh for just two-week cameos in films at the time. Even superstars like Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Shammi Kapoor were not able to cross this mark until mid-70s. The ace comedian's presence intimated heroes to an extent that they would reject starring with him in the same film. In 1996, he released Dushman Duniya Ka , his final directorial. His final on-screen appearance was in Ghar Bazar , a box office flop. The actor passed away in 2004, leaving millions of his fans shattered and heartbroken.
