That is, until Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan took to the stage. At the event, all eyes were on Saif as he returned to work, after his home invasion episode last month, to announce The Jewel Thief. “It feels nice to be standing here in front of you,” said the actor. Shah Rukh took to the stage to promote his son Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, Ba***ds of Bollywood. SRK revealed he had approached the streamer to collaborate with Aryan before the pandemic. In his signature humour, he quipped, “I’m not the producer of the show, that’s Gauri [Khan]. I am just here for namesake. I’m just a bloody star. When a star enters, there’s a background score. It doesn’t happen with a producer.” Also on the roster was Dining with the Kapoors, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan.Chandrika Tandon wins big at Grammy Awards 2025
