Shah Rukh Khan won the hearts of his fans after he helped Rani Mukerji with her saree on the stage of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards 2024. The event on the second day took place in Abu Dhabi. Taking to its Instagram account, IIFA posted a bunch of pictures and videos of the duo from the event. 

Shah Rukh helps Rani with her saree

In a clip, Rani Mukerji was seen arriving on stage to announce an award. She hugged host Karan Johar while Shah Rukh stood near them, staring at her saree. As Rani walked towards the mic, Shah Rukh lifted the loose end of a saree (pallu), which was touching the floor.

After she reached the mic, Shah Rukh placed it gently on the floor. Seeing this gesture of Shah Rukh, Rani laughed and then mouthed, "Thank you". For the event, Karan opted for a black and red jacket and trousers. Shah Rukh was seen in a shirt under a blazer and pants. Rani wore a satin green saree and blouse.

Sharing the video, IIFA wrote, “Nostalgia is real! Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, and Karan Johar together again—now this is a reunion we didn’t know we needed so badly!” Posting the pictures, they captioned the post, “Once again, simply chalte chalte (name of their film), Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji steal our hearts with their beautiful jodi (pair)!”
