Shah Rukh Khan stole the show at IIFA 2024, winning the Best Actor award for his blockbuster film Jawan! But beyond the glitz and glamour, King Khan touched on a tough chapter in his life during his acceptance speech — the arrest of his son, Aryan Khan, in 2021. The Bollywood superstar, while basking in his win, reflected on the emotional rollercoaster he experienced during that difficult period. 😔❤️
🎬 A ‘Tough Time’ for the Khan Family
When SRK got on stage to accept his award, he didn’t just celebrate his success. He subtly spoke about the "tough time" his family went through during the making of Jawan, alluding to Aryan Khan’s arrest. For those who might have forgotten, Aryan was arrested in October 2021 after a raid on the Cordelia cruise ship. He spent almost a month in jail before being granted bail, and it wasn’t until May 2023 that he was given a clean chit by the NCB (Narcotics Control Bureau) after an intense investigation. 🚨
SRK kept it classy, as always, not diving deep into the media frenzy but acknowledging the storm the family faced while balancing his work and personal life.
👑 A Humorous Shoutout to Gauri Khan!
Amid the serious moments, SRK didn’t forget to add his signature humor. He made a special mention of his wife Gauri Khan, thanking her for being the producer of Jawan. With a cheeky grin, he said, "She may be the only wife who's spending more on the husband than the other way round!" 😂 Talk about couple goals! 💖
🎥 SRK’s Special Request to Sandeep Reddy Vanga
During the grand event, SRK had a little something for Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director of Animal. He mentioned that while making Jawan was difficult, he was thrilled with the response from fans. King Khan even cheekily requested Sandeep to make a movie like Pushpa for him! We can already imagine SRK pulling off a rugged Pushpa-style role! 😎🔥
💃 SRK & Vicky Kaushal Grooving to 'Oo Antava'
As if the night couldn’t get any better, SRK and Vicky Kaushal hit the stage together for a spontaneous dance to the viral hit ‘Oo Antava’ from Pushpa. The crowd went wild as these two stars grooved to the beats, and the moment instantly went viral. Seeing SRK’s smooth moves and Vicky’s energy was the perfect way to light up the night! 🔥🕺
🧐 Aryan’s Clean Chit: The Media Trial Drama
While SRK reflected on those tough times, it's important to remember the media trial Aryan faced. From the moment Aryan was arrested, there was intense speculation, with many assuming the worst because he was a celebrity kid. The truth, however, finally came out when it was revealed that the officer in charge was corrupt and tried to blackmail SRK. Aryan’s clean chit in 2023 was a huge relief for the Khan family and their supporters. 🙌
At MediaFx, we empathize with SRK for the tough time he endured due to the assumptions around his son’s case. It’s thanks to some good people in our judicial system that the truth finally emerged, and it’s a reminder that we must protect those who stand for justice. ✊
TL;DR Summary 📰
At IIFA 2024, SRK won Best Actor for Jawan and reflected on the tough time his family faced during Aryan Khan’s arrest. While jokingly thanking Gauri Khan and requesting Sandeep Reddy Vanga to make a Pushpa-like movie for him, SRK didn’t shy away from mentioning how hard things were. MediaFx empathizes with SRK and appreciates the judicial system for revealing the truth about the corrupt officer in Aryan’s case.
