During the press conference, Karan Johar humourously asked SRK about hosting the awards after such a long gap. Shah Rukh Khan responded playfully, “Itni taareef kar rahe ho, bulaya toh ek hi baar tha na pehle. ‘Shah Rukh Khan aa raha hai, Shah Rukh Khan aa raha hai…’ Ek baar bulaya host karne ke liye, usme 10 saal ke baad bula rahe hai. Aise hi taareef kar raha hai, likh ke leke aaya hai.” Also Read – IIFA 2024: Shah Rukh Khan surprises with brand new look at the press conference; is it his avatar for THIS film?

The Jawan actor went on to say, “Feels really nice to be here. Thank you IIFA for having me. I’m joking, ab clarify karna padta hai na ke joke kar rahe hai, seriously nahi bol rahe hai. I would have loved to always come. But unfortunately for some reason or another, I was working at the point IIFA has been hosted, all around the world. Which makes us very, very proud.” Also Read – Shah Rukh Khan in Darr is a lover or a rapist? asks educator Dr Vikas Divyakirti; raises questions on Yash Chopra’s films?

Shah Rukh Khan also joked about how the event is often held in international locations like Toronto or Malaysia. The superstar added with a smile, “Yaha kar lo na. Borivali mein kar lo, Film City mein kar lo jaise baaki log karte hai yaar. But their vision is big. IIFA has always thought of taking Indian cinema to a global level, and now with the inclusion of Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi cinema, this is even more Indian than it has ever been before.”
