Sufi Motiwala Hails Karan Johar's Met Gala Look Over Shah Rukh Khan; Says 'SRK's K Necklace Was Tacky...'

Sufi Motiwala, who is gearing up to make his debut at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival this year, recently opened up about the Met Gala appearances of Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar. While Shah Rukh made his much-talked-about Met Gala debut last year, Karan Johar marked his first appearance at the global fashion event this year, sparking conversations online about Indian representation on the iconic red carpet.

In an interaction with SCREEN, Sufi shared his honest opinion on Shah Rukh Khan’s Met Gala look, stating that he felt the superstar’s all-black ensemble did not completely tap into the full creative potential of the event’s theme.

Motiwala said, "His all-black look at the Met felt like a missed opportunity to me. I felt like, obviously, as much as he feels comfortable in the colour black and everything, there was a lot more that could have been done, even with an all-black look, because the category was tailored at the end of the day. They could have created power shoulders, they could have created better pants, they could have given him a cape, anything to sort of make Shah Rukh Khan, the number one star of India, stand out. That was my biggest complaint. There could have been more."

Sufi called SRK's 'K' necklace 'tacky', noting, "It honestly felt a bit tacky to me because I felt like, I mean, you're Shah Rukh Khan. I think you have access to some of the best jewellery in the world. The fact that his jewellery collection felt like it could have been found at Bandra Hill Road also cheapened it a little bit, I felt."
