Many Bollywood movie fans are wondering why Shah Rukh Khan didn’t win in the Best Actor in a Leading Role category at the 69th Hyundai Filmfare Awards 2024 with Gujarati Tourism and also want to know who SRK lost to. Here is everything you need to know.
Why didn’t Shah Rukh Khan win Best Actor at the Filmfare Awards 2024?
The reason Shah Rukh Khan did not win Best Actor at the Filmfare Awards 2024 is that he was stacked against too much competition.
2023 was a successful year for Shah Rukh Khan, with three commercially successful back-to-back releases for him in Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki. As such, fans were understandably upset that he did not win the Filmfare Award for Best Actor 2024.
However, Shah Rukh Khan, who was not only nominated for Jawan but also Dunki, was unfortunately stacked against a great amount of competition in the form of Animal’s Ranbir Kapoor, Gadar 2’s Sunny Deol, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’s Ranveer Singh, and Sam Bahadur’s Vicky Kaushal. Like Shah Rukh Khan, they also delivered critically acclaimed performances.
Who beat Shah Rukh Khan as Best Actor at the Filmfare Awards 2024?
Shah Rukh Khan lost to Ranbir Kapoor, who took home the Best Actor in a Leading Role trophy for his performance in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal.
Ranbir Kapoor’s win for his performance in Animal was not surprising given how critically acclaimed it was, despite the movie receiving mixed reviews for its depiction of misogyny and toxic masculinity.
