With millions of posts uploaded every day, India's social media churns out a viral moment almost on cue.

If you've lost track of what thrilled - and infuriated - users in 2025, here's a handy recall: a round-up of the year's moments that made the country pause, laugh, or even scoff.

In May, Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan attended his first ever Met Gala and clips of him walking the red carpet got an ecstatic reception from fans worldwide.

The theme for this year's Gala, one of the biggest nights in fashion, was "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," which focused exclusively on menswear.

Khan arrived on the red carpet in an outfit created by Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee - decked out with his own dandy cane, plenty of bling and sunglasses.
