Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit Bring the ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’ Madness Back to the Stage

In the vibrant, ever-oscillating universe of Bollywood, where stars shine as brightly as the sequins on their costumes, the 2025 International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards turned Jaipur, Rajasthan into a playground of glitz and glamour. And guess who stole the show? None other than our very own ‘King Khan’, Shah Rukh Khan, who seems to have found the secret to eternal stardom.✨

Ladies and gentlefolk, just when you thought you had seen it all, Shah Rukh Khan waltzed onto the IIFA stage, reminding us mere mortals why he is, and perhaps always will be, the reigning monarch of Bollywood. His performance was, without a doubt, the highlight of the silver jubilee edition of this celebrity filled gala.

Picture this: the night sky above Jaipur transformed into a canvas of light, thanks to a dazzling drone show. Words like ‘SRK’ and ‘The King’ floated among the stars, while drones painted scenes of our beloved Badshah in his iconic pose, arms wide open. The crowd, predictably, lost their collective minds. 🤯

As if the drone spectacle wasn’t awe-inducing enough, Shah Rukh made his grand entrance to the strains of "Badshah"—a tune befitting Bollywood royalty. His performance was a whirlwind tour through his career, with hits like Tujhe Dekha To Ye Jaana and Arey Re Arey setting the stage ablaze.

And because no Shah Rukh saga is complete without a touch of romance, enter Madhuri Dixit, the ever-graceful co-star from Dil To Pagal Hai. Together, they recreated those magical moments on stage, prompting a tsunami of nostalgia and cheers from the audience. 💃🕺

But wait, there’s more! As SRK sashayed through the 2000s with tracks like Main Hoon Don, Say Shaava, and Dard-E-Disco, fans were treated to a feast for the senses. Keeping the energy levels soaring, he stormed the stage with Zinda Banda from Jawan and the electrifying Lungi Dance from Chennai Express.

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any more exhilarating, SRK brought the house down with Jhoome Jo Pathaan and finished with a show-stopping rendition of Chaiyya Chaiyya on a prop train. Yes, you heard that right—a train, folks! 🚂

Not to be outdone, Shahid Kapoor—arguably one of Bollywood’s finest dancers—treated fans to a sensational performance. His medley of tracks from Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya and Jab We Met added even more sparkle to the night.

Meanwhile, Kareena Kapoor Khan paid a heartfelt tribute to her iconic grandfather, Raj Kapoor, with performances on timeless classics like Ramaiya Vastavaiya and Mera Joota Hai Japani. Ah, the Kapoor legacy lives on!

Kriti Sanon and Madhuri Dixit also graced the stage with their performances, completing an evening that was nothing short of magical.

Nisha’s Nutshell:
In the topsy-turvy world of Bollywood, if there’s one thing we can count on, it’s Shah Rukh Khan’s ability to make time stand still. Whether he’s dancing on a train or lighting up the sky, he’s proof that some stars never fade—they just keep shining brighter. ⭐
