The 70th edition of the Filmfare Awards was held on Saturday, bringing together some of the biggest names from the Hindi film industry under one roof. While Siddhant Chaturvedi and Kriti Sanon set the stage on fire with their high-energy performances, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol left the audience swooning with nostalgia as they danced to tracks from their iconic films Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Shah Rukh and Kajol evoke nostalgia The highlight of the show was undoubtedly Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s performance on their evergreen hits. Shah Rukh entered the stage crooning “Tujhe Dekha To”, followed by songs like “Suraj Hua Maddham” and “Yeh Ladka Hai Deewana.” While Shah Rukh looked dapper in a navy-blue suit, Kajol stunned in a black saree for the event.
