Witnessing Shah Rukh Khan on stage as the host of the IIFA Awards 2024 is an eagerly anticipated event for both celebrities and fans alike. King Khan is set to grace the stage once again after a hiatus of several years, taking on hosting duties tonight at Yas Island's Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
During the IIFA press conference and IIFA Utsavam's green carpet on Friday, we asked some of the stars what they were most looking forward to this weekend. Actor-singer Siddhant Chaturvedi expressed, 'I love Shah Rukh sir when he hosts. Everybody does. And he's coming back after a long time, so I am very excited to see him.'
In addition to the performances, particularly Rekha's, actor Ananya Panday is 'super excited' to watch Shah Rukh host. 'I have grown up watching him host on TV,' she said. 'I used to record him so I could watch it again and again.' Ananya, who will be performing this weekend, also mentioned she is 'happy just being an audience member.'
Kriti Sanon, who is also set to perform, shared that Shah Rukh has an infectious energy. 'I am looking forward to seeing him host,' she said. 'I used to always love watching him host because of the energy he has.'
Saturday promises to be a special night with Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, and Vicky Kaushal as hosts for the main IIFA Awards night. For a detailed play-by-play of all the action, check out our live blog here.
