Shah Rukh Khan reminded everyone that the original is always the best on the IIFA Awards 2024 stage on Saturday night. The Abu Dhabi event was hosted by Shah Rukh and Vicky Kaushal, who danced through the night to different songs and shared a sizzling chemistry. They wrapped up the party with a performance set to Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam’s revamped version from Vicky’s movie Bad Newz. But it was Shah Rukh who stole the spotlight.

‘King for a reason’

The song is a remix from Shah Rukh’s 1998 film Duplicate. Therefore, it was even more exciting to watch him bring back the 26-year-old moves and show everyone how he can still pull them off better than anyone. IIFA’s official page shared a video of their performance on Instagram on Sunday morning and it’s gone viral already.
