As Shah Rukh Khan took the stage, he praised Abhishek Banerjee for his stellar performance in
Stree 2. “So good to see you live after watching your wonderful film. I have been waiting to call you,"
SRK said, expressing admiration for the actor.

When asked about the upcoming IIFA awards, Shah Rukh shared some exciting news about the
performances, revealing, “Shahid Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Janhvi Kapoor and Kriti Sanon will all be
performing at the event, and the legendary Rekha ji will also be there. It’s a great honour and
privilege for me."
Karan Johar, in his signature style, joked about Shah Rukh’s long-standing association with IIFA.
Responding to Karan’s praise, SRK humorously quipped, “Itni taarif kar rahe ho par bulaya toh ek hi
baar tha! Tu sab likh ke leke aaya hai." He quickly clarified, “I’m joking, but nowadays we have to
make sure to explain that!"

Shah Rukh went on to express his admiration for IIFA, saying, “I would love to attend every time, but
work commitments always come in the way. IIFA is always thinking big, and now with the inclusion
of Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi cinema, it’s more Indian than ever before."

The fun continued when Shah Rukh and Karan Johar invited Rana Daggubati to the stage. After
Siddhant Chaturvedi and Abhishek Banerjee touched their own feet for laughs, Rana, with a cheeky
grin, touched the feet of both Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar, saying, “We are fully South Indian.
That’s how we do it!" His gesture brought the house down, making for a lighthearted viral moment.
Later, SRK greeted Rana with a gentle kiss on his neck and a warm hug.
