Abu Dhabi:Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan made headlines at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards held in Abu Dhabi, where he won the Best Actor award for his outstanding performance in the film “Jawan.”
In addition to his win, Khan also took on the role of host for the event, using a teleprompter during the proceedings, which led to a flurry of reactions on social media.
