Shah Rukh Khan’s legendary wit was on full display once again as he co-hosted the 24th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards in Abu Dhabi, alongside the ever-charming Vicky Kaushal. The King of Bollywood, known for his sharp sense of humor, didn’t hold back from throwing some playful jabs, not just at his colleagues but at himself, proving once more why he’s the undisputed Baadshah of banter. As the duo took over the stage, Vicky couldn’t resist bringing up some of the biggest films in recent times, cheekily asking if they’d first been offered to SRK.
In typical Shah Rukh fashion, he claimed, “Of course, all major projects come to me first,” before hilariously explaining why he ‘turned them down.’ A post shared by Vicky Kaushal (@vickykaushal09) When Laal Singh Chaddha, starring Aamir Khan, was mentioned, Shah Rukh didn’t miss a beat, quipping, “Even Aamir shouldn’t have done that movie,” sending Vicky and the audience into fits of laughter. Of course, SRK was quick to add, “I love you, Aamir!” just to make sure no feelings were hurt.
It was a classic Khan move—poke fun with style, but soften the blow with affection. Laal Singh Chaddha had been one of the most hyped films of 2022 but struggled to meet expectations, earning Rs 130 crore against a budget of Rs 180 crore. Aamir, who gave a heartfelt performance, found himself facing significant criticism, leading him to take a sabbatical from acting.
Vicky didn’t stop there, asking abo.
