May 06, 2025: Bollywood star Kajol has sent the internet into a frenzy with her cheeky and stylish tribute to Shah Rukh Khan’s Met Gala look, posting a photo of herself in a similar ensemble and challenging fans to “spot the difference.”
Mirroring Shah Rukh’s iconic black outfit, Kajol wore a black coat with edgy flair, accessorised with bold silver bangles, multiple rings, a nose ring, and several ear piercings. She kept her makeup minimal and tied her hair into a sleek ponytail—letting her attitude and accessories do the talking.
The post instantly drew a wave of admiration online, with comments like, “And pleaseeeee make a movie together now!!!!! We miss you!!!!”, “No difference Kajol, he is the King, and you are the Queen,” and “His K necklace is definitely a reference to you, @kajol.” Fans couldn’t help but get nostalgic over the legendary on-screen duo.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan made headlines with his Met Gala debut, where he wore a bespoke black coat crafted from Tasmanian superfine wool, paired with a silk shirt, tailored trousers, and a pleated satin kamarbandh. The ensemble, designed by Sabyasachi, was praised for its symbolism of freedom and resilience.
Speaking to the media, Shah Rukh admitted he wasn’t initially familiar with the Met Gala or its theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” a tribute to Black fashion. But once he understood the concept, he found it compelling: “The resolve to change things without aggression or anger but have exuberance of art in it… I thought it was marvellous.”
Kajol’s lighthearted homage has not only delighted fans but also reignited hope that the beloved duo will reunite on screen soon.
