Highlights from the event:
Organizers went all out by bringing together Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, and Vicky Kaushal to host the awards. Their seamless chemistry, whether as a trio or in pairs, kept the energy high with lighthearted roasts, self-deprecating humor, dancing, and even a playful fight sequence between Kaushal and Khan. With his witty one-liners and charm, Khan once again proved why he’s called King Khan.
Bobby Deol’s award acceptance was an emotional moment, as he expressed heartfelt gratitude for his resurgence in Bollywood. He thanked director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and the Animal team for believing in him and giving him a role that reignited his career.
Rekha’s grand finale was nothing short of mesmerizing, adding to the mystery that has long surrounded the legendary actress. Known for being fiercely private and largely absent from the big screen, the announcement of her performance was both surprising and thrilling.
Draped in a stunning pink and gold ensemble with Kundan-style jewels, Rekha delivered a captivating medley of retro hits, including Mohe Panghat Pe, Piya Tose Naina Laage Re, and Inhi Logon Ne, ending with Pardesiya. Choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, her performance was a graceful reminder of the elegance she’s embodied for nearly five decades.
