Shah Rukh Khan talks about facing a tough time.

For his performance in the massive hit film Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan won the Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance award at IIFA 2024. In his winning speech, SRK said, “Somebody reminded me that money needs to be put into a film. So, I want to thank Gauri (Khan). She may be the only wife who’s spending more on the husband than the other way around. We were going through a tough time while making Jawan (referring to the Aryan Khan case).” His elder son, Aryan Khan, was arrested on October 3, 2021, a day after the raid on the Cordelia cruise in Mumbai. On May 27, last year, a special investigation team (SIT) formed by the NCB gave a clean chit to Aryan, saying he wasn’t a part of any larger drug-dealing racket.

Actor Shah Rukh Khan hosted the second day of the IIFA Awards 2024 in Abu Dhabi. He spoke about several other things, right from talking about the love story of actor-couple Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif, asking Sandeep Reddy Vanga to get him a South film like Pushpa: The Rise to speaking on the Kannada film KGF, why he lives in a bungalow, and why he doesn’t dance at weddings anymore. Co-hosts Vicky and Karan Johar, along with SRK, were also seen dancing to Jhoome Jo Pathaan.
