Seated to witness the magic of his much-celebrated aura, fans at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi got their money’s worth as Shah Rukh Khan seized the night with his impeccable wit and charisma. The International Indian Film Academy Awards reiterated the grand resurgence of one of Bollywood’s biggest superstars.

“It’s good to be back,” said Shah Rukh, holding the trophy for the Best Actor award. He clinched the top honour for his action-packed performance in Atlee’s Jawan (2023). “The king reclaims his crown,” said filmmaker Karan Johar, who co-hosted the awards ceremony with Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Abhishek Banerjee and Siddhant Chaturvedi.

The banter on stage centred around Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback, as the actor enjoyed a terrific 2023. The blockbuster performances of Pathaan, Jawan and his maiden collaboration with Rajkumar Hirani for Dunki not just revived the beleaguered Hindi film industry, but also put Shah Rukh Khan back on top of the game. The seasoned star, who was in a desperate quest to reinvent himself, wrote a new chapter in his career with two dynamic action-oriented roles in Pathaan and Jawan.

Fans cheered for their star as he asked Vicky Kaushal, “aur kithna comeback karoon?” (How many more comebacks should I make?). Shah Rukh perfectly balanced his well-timed jokes on new-generation actors with his energetic performances, including the viral hits ‘Tauba Tauba’ from Bad Newz and ‘Oo Antava Mawa’ from Pushpa (2021).
