SRK’s Nostalgic Tribute to Bobby Deol

The highlight of the evening came when Shah Rukh Khan turned the spotlight on his longtime friend Bobby Deol. Recalling Bobby’s debut nearly three decades ago, SRK said with a smile, “When Bobby was making his debut in Barsaat with Twinkle, I had never seen anyone so striking. I still remember him in those blue sunglasses, before the film released… I felt inspired that day.”

SRK went on to call Bobby a genuine superstar and an even more genuine friend, words that moved the audience and drew thunderous applause.

A Friendship That Withstood Time

As Bobby joined SRK on stage, the two embraced, radiating warmth and mutual respect that reflected decades of camaraderie. Bobby, in turn, praised Aryan’s vision and dedication, humbly calling himself “lucky” to be part of the project.

Bollywood’s Past, Present & Future in One Frame

The evening closed on an emotional high — Shah Rukh, glowing with pride for Aryan, celebrated not just his son’s new journey but also his unbreakable bond with Bobby. Under one roof, Bollywood’s past, present, and future stood together, marking a moment both historic and heartfelt.
