While hosting, Khan said, “No matter how many congratulatory posts you post, how many stories you post, how many interviews you talk about my favorite film, but the truth is that everyone is jealous of Dhurandhar.” The audience laughed at his funny comment.
Adding to the joke, he joked, “Bam film mein footein lyari mein, par dhuan uda hai bandra se juhu mein,” to which the event elicited applause and laughter.
