Bhubaneswar: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan made a triumphant return to the silver screen, collecting the Best Actor award for his performance in 'Jawan' at the International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) held in Abu Dhabi. At 58, Khan's success comes after a series of setbacks, proving his enduring appeal in the industry.
Expressing his joy, SRK remarked, "I love awards, I'm greedy about awards... I think I have a little happiness from the audience this year because I worked (again) after a long time." He acknowledged his fellow nominees, including Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor, while reflecting on the challenges his family faced during the making of 'Jawan,' particularly his son Aryan Khan's legal troubles.
Khan also expressed gratitude to his wife, Gauri Khan, for her unwavering support, humorously noting, "She may be the only wife who's spending more on the husband than the other way round." The night saw Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal' win six awards, including Best Picture, while Rani Mukerji took home Best Actress for 'Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway.' Vidhu Vinod Chopra won Best Director for '12th Fail.'
