The IIFA 2024 pre-event in Mumbai was full of fun and camaraderie, thanks to the dynamic presence of Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, and Rana Daggubati.
The trio entertained the audience with their playful interactions, showcasing the close bond they share. A standout moment from the night came when Rana Daggubati, in a warm and humorous gesture, greeted SRK and Karan by touching their feet, a traditional South Indian sign of respect.
Rana’s playful quip, “We are fully South Indian. That’s how we do it,” drew laughter and applause from the crowd, and social media was flooded with comments like “super cute” and “lovely gesture,” as fans admired Rana’s humility and respect for his industry seniors. Shah Rukh Khan responded affectionately by giving Rana a gentle kiss on the neck and a heartfelt hug, further warming the hearts of those in attendance.
During the event, Rana expressed his deep gratitude toward SRK, reminiscing about attending an after-party at Shah Rukh’s residence in the past, a memory he cherishes. The interaction between these stars added to the excitement surrounding the IIFA 2024.
Shah Rukh, Karan, Rana, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Abhishek Banerjee are all set to showcase their hosting skills at the event in Abu Dhabi. Rana will host the IIFA Utsavam, while SRK and Karan will headline the main awards night. Abhishek and Siddhant will host IIFA Rocks, ensuring the event is packed with entertainment.
Performances by Bollywood veterans and stars like Rekha, Shahid Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon will further elevate the glamour of the awards. The IIFA Awards 2024 will take place from September 27 to 29 at Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, and promises to be a spectacular celebration of Indian cinema.
