Mumbai: The IIFA Awards 2024, one which fans all over the world have been waiting for to come on TV, finally did so on 10 November. The Bollywood royalty at the star studded event included Shah Rukh Khan, who hosted the show side by side Vicky Kaushal. Both the night and clips from the night went viral on the internet with the energy and wit of the duo.
Jawan featured Shah Rukh Khan reuniting on the big screen after his much acclaimed come back and won him the Best Actor award. On stage, Shah Rukh accepted the award and took a moment to acknowldge the nominees Shah Rukh himself by mentioning Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Vikrant Massey, Vicky Kaushal, as well as Sunny Deol. “I just think that all of them were fantastic, but I actually got more love from the audience because they were here to see me after so long,” he said.
The words of Shah Rukh’s acceptance speech, especially that he won from legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam and renowned composer A.R. Rahman, resonated hearts, as he accepted the award. “The moment is an honour , describing it as being the winner of the Mani Ratnam and A.R. Rahman plaudits is an honour, said it was an honour to work with, being a pleasure and being someone I respect deeply,” he said. I also wish all the actors who were nominated my best wishes.”
While giving a speech, Shah Rukh also indicated how personal challenges posed Hindrance while working on Jawan, but he did not say much. The comment alluded to a tough time in his own life — in October 2021, his son Aryan Khan was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau and became a headline. The incident later freed Aryan, but definitely overshadowed Shah Rukh’s life during the shoot of the film.
Starring stars like Jhanvi Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Rekha and Shahid Kapoor among others, the IIFA Awards 2024 was a blockbuster thing to look forward to from September 27 to September 29. Abu Dhabi was the place to be, and the grandeur of the event combined with the celebrations resulting in a lasting impression, the emotion in Shah Rukh Khan’s acceptance speech as one of the best moments of the night.
But the IIFA Awards 2024 was a night to remember as Bollywood’s biggest stars came together to celebrate them in style yet again, and a win for Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan was quite as good an omen as any. The evening was given a personal touch by the actor’s heartfelt acceptance speech as he spoke of his journey to his a return that the audience loved.
