Karan Johar was caught by surprise when he was honored with a special IIFA award for completing 25 years as a filmmaker during the ceremony in Abu Dhabi.

Shah Rukh Khan presents award to Karan Johar

Shah Rukh and Vicky presented Karan with the award, leading a heartfelt tribute. Shah Rukh began by saying, "Legacy is what you create for the ages," with Vicky adding, "For generations. Or generally, parents leave behind a legacy for their children." Shah Rukh continued, "And sometimes there are fortunate parents whose children carry that legacy forward. This is for a cute, little boy who not only fulfilled his father's dreams but also took them to new heights. My brother, my friend, my partner in both good and bad times—the one and only Karan Johar."
