In 2000, Shah Rukh Khan, the famous actor, showed his normal pleasant self at the IIFA ceremony. The inaugural IIFA awards were hosted at London’s Millennium Dome. Shah Rukh was given the Best Actress Award, and guess who was beside him? None other than Angelina Jolie! Shah Rukh and Angelina entered the stage together. Shah Rukh then ascended the center stage and welcomed the audience enthusiastically.

“Good evening, again. This is extremely nice. Yes, especially now that I’m with Angelina.” Angelina, embarrassed, couldn’t help but blush. Encouraged by Shah Rukh, she joined her hands and said, “Namaste, India.” Angelina’s eyes twinkled with playfulness, hinting at flirtation. However, beneath her strong appearance, a subtle timidity emerged, lending an endearing charm to her personality.

It was a riveting combination of aggressiveness and shyness, resulting in an intriguing dynamic between the two on stage. The night’s main winner was Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. It received numerous honors, including Best Film and Best Director. The lead actress, Aishwarya Rai, received the Best Actress trophy.

After a little discussion, Shah Rukh revealed the prize winner, however, Aishwarya was unable to attend. Bhansali, the filmmaker, accepted the prize on her behalf. Shah Rukh then humorously made sure Angelina understood who Aishwarya was, which made her chuckle.

Shah Rukh and Aishwarya have appeared together in films such as Devdas, Josh, and Mohabbatein. In 2017, Shah Rukh and Angelina’s ex-husband, Brad Pitt, conducted a joint interview in which they discussed their careers. Shah Rukh hasn’t been on the big screen since 2018’s Zero, but he’s making a big comeback with three new films. Angelina last appeared in Marvel’s Eternals.
