Khan previously welcomed the Filmfare Awards several times, including memorable stays with his colleague actor Saif Ali Khan in 2003 and 2004. He returned as a co-host with Karan Johar in 2007. The 53rd Filmfare Awards in 2008 was the last time that Shah Rukh was the host, when he shared the scene with Saif, Karan and Varya Balan. Known for his mind and charm, Khan’s accommodation has been a highlight of the ceremony over the years.
The Filmfare Awards 2025 will be held in Gujarat for the first time, following a memorandum of understanding signed between tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited (TCGL) and Worldwide Media Private Limited in Gandhinagar. The event should draw a considerable attention to the growing prominence of the state in the film industry.
As the date approaches, anticipation is built for a night of glamor, laughter and celebration of the best talents in Indian cinema. With Shah Rukh Khan at the helm, the 70th Filmfare Awards promises to be a memorable opportunity for fans and industry professionals.
