ABU DHABI: At the recent IIFA Awards in Abu Dhabi, Shah Rukh Khan won the Best Actor award for his role in Jawan. Khan, who also hosted the event, expressed his gratitude during his acceptance speech, saying, “It’s good to be back. I’m extremely grateful for this award. I love awards, I’m greedy about awards… I’m genuinely back and I’m really happy to end the year like this.”

While Jawan was a major hit last year, Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, took home the Best Picture award. This decision sparked debate among fans, as some questioned the logic behind awarding Khan for Jawan over Kapoor’s performance in Animal.
