Did Alia Bhatt pay Rs. 63 lakh to 2 crore to attend Met Gala 2024?

All the funds collected at the Met Gala benefit the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in Manhattan, New York, USA. For the uninitiated, each ticket for the Met Gala costs USD 75,000 per person, which in Indian currency comes to around Rs. 63 lakh. The cost of the entire table is around USD 350,000, which is almost Rs. 2 crore 92 lakh. Acording to a report in News18, it was revealed that while companies and design houses buy tables for their guests, individuals pay for their own tickets.
