Shah Rukh Khan was the star of the show when the 70th Filmfare Awards opened in Ahmedabad on October 11, 2025. The Bollywood icon arrived on the red carpet in a sharp black suit, a sleek white stripe on his blazer and finished the look with a black watch, bracelet and necklace. He smiled, blew kisses and thanked fans for their love and praise as crowds cheered.
Khan is not just a celebrity guest. He will co‑host the awards with Maniesh Paul and Karan Johar, making the night a big event for Gujarat’s film industry. The ceremony is part of a broader push to promote Gujarat as a filming destination, following a 2023 Memorandum of Understanding between the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat and Worldwide Media.

The awards ran at EKA Arena on Kankaria Lake, drawing a star‑packed crowd. In addition to Shah Rukh Khan, the red carpet featured Jackie Shroff, Ravi Kishan, Siddhanth Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday, Harshvardhan Rane, Mohnish Behl, Shoojit Sircar, Kriti Sanon, Nitanshi Goel, and Lakshya. Social media buzzed with pictures of the glamorous arrivals, showing the festival’s high‑profile fashion and excitement.
