But Shah Rukh Khan, who clinched the Best Actor award for his powerful performance in Jawan, was the true king of the evening.

IIFA Awards 2024 Venue:
Hosted in the glitzy city of Abu Dhabi, this year’s IIFA brought together the biggest names in the Hindi film industry under one roof, delivering memorable performances, touching acceptance speeches, and a night filled with celebration of cinematic excellence.
The three-day extravaganza kicked off on September 27, 2024, with IIFA Utsavam, a special event highlighting the achievements of the southern film industries—Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.
But it was the second day of the main IIFA awards ceremony that stole the show, with Bollywood’s very own “King Khan,” Shah Rukh Khan, taking center stage as both host and winner.
The Biggest Stars Gather in Abu Dhabi
As the IIFA stage lit up, the red carpet shimmered with iconic names from the industry.
Among the star-studded attendees were legends like Hema Malini and Rekha, alongside modern-day superstars like Vicky Kaushal, Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Ananya Panday, and Rani Mukerji.
It was an evening that celebrated not just the movies, but the stars who continue to mesmerize audiences with their work.
But it was Shah Rukh Khan who commanded the night. Serving as host alongside the charming Vicky Kaushal and director Karan Johar, the trio gave the audience more than a few moments to cheer for.
One highlight that had everyone talking? Their impromptu dance to the chart-topping hit “Jhoome Jo Pathaan” from Shah Rukh’s blockbuster Pathaan. The energy was electric as the audience couldn’t get enough of the Bollywood king’s iconic moves!
