Mumbai: In a surprising turn of events at the 69th Filmfare Awards 2024, held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, Shah Rukh Khan, despite delivering three hits in 2023, found himself conspicuously absent from the winners’ list. The star-studded event, hosted by Karan Johar, Maniesh Paul, and Ayushmann Khurrana, saw Ranbir Kapoor clinching the Best Actor award for his remarkable performance in Animal.
Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal of a negative character in Animal earned him accolades, but many fans expressed disappointment over Shah Rukh Khan’s exclusion.
Filmfare Awards 2024 Best Actor
The Bollywood icon SRK had a stellar year at the box office, amassing over Rs 2600 crore from his three movies — Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki. Fans particularly praised King Khan’s whistle-worthy role in Jawan, considering it a standout performance and many social media users felt that he deserved an award for the same.
Despite Shah Rukh Khan’s undeniable impact on the industry and his blockbuster success in 2023, the Filmfare Awards seemed to have overlooked his contributions. Disheartened fans have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction with the decision, arguing that Khan’s performances in Pathaan and Jawan solidified his status as the original box office king.
