During the ceremony, Sushant Singh Rajput was playfully stopped by the hosts, Karan Johar and Karan Singh Grover, as he made his way back after receiving his award. Karan praised Sushant for being a terrific dancer and requested him to show off a few moves on stage. Always sporting, Sushant happily agreed but turned the spotlight on KJo, inviting the filmmaker to join him on the dance floor.

Though the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director hesitated at first, he eventually gave in, and the two grooved together to “High Heels Te Nachche” from the film Ki & Ka, originally featuring Arjun Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan, creating a fun and memorable moment at the ceremony.

Among those cheering from the audience was Alia Bhatt, who was seen enthusiastically rooting for her mentor, Karan Johar.
