The "Bengal Tiger" hint also sparked comparisons to Khan`s classic Devdas style. One excited fan commented online, "Going by the Bengal Tiger hint, I’m guessing SRK will be wearing a dhoti kurta at the Met Gala. God, my excitement just went through the roof—he`s looked heavenly every time he’s donned those.”
