Shah Rukh in Jaipur
Shah Rukh landed in Jaipur to attend the 25th edition of the IIFA awards, which will begin on March 8. The grand ceremony will be held on March 9, honouring cinematic excellence and celebrating Indian cinema’s profound impact on the global stage.
A paparazzi account shared the video of the fan frenzy that occurred when Shah Rukh landed in Jaipur on Friday evening. Dressed in a white shirt and carrying a blue sling bag, the actor looked dapper as he made his way towards the car. Fans started to scream, ‘Shah Rukh!’ ‘Shah Rukh!’ as he exited the airport. Just before entering the car, he stood for a few seconds to greet the fans and gave them flying kisses.
About the event
At the IIFA 2025 pre-event in Mumbai which was held in January, Shah Rukh had given some hosting tips to Kartik. He said, “Kartik is going to host the 25th year. Just so that I can pass off the baton to him, isko main sikha deta hun ki Jaipur mein shuruaat kaise karni hai (…how to begin in Jaipur). So, you’ll have to begin by saying, ‘Padharo mhare IIFA’ (Welcome to IIFA).”
Last year, Shah Rukh, along with actor Vicky Kaushal and filmmaker Karan Johar, hosted the IIFA Awards in Abu Dhabi.
