At a star-studded award ceremony held in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan was honored with the Best Actor award for his outstanding performance in Jawan (2023). Meanwhile, Bobby Deol clinched the Best Actor in a Negative Role for his portrayal of Abrar Haque in Animal (2023). The event celebrated the best of Bollywood, but the reactions to SRK’s win were divided among fans.
While Bobby Deol’s victory was met with elation from his fanbase, Shah Rukh Khan’s award sparked a heated debate online. Many netizens voiced their displeasure on Twitter, arguing that the Best Actor award should have gone to Ranbir Kapoor for his role in Animal. The online discourse highlighted a growing divide among Bollywood enthusiasts, with many feeling that Ranbir’s performance in Animal was overshadowed.
One Twitter user expressed their frustration, writing, “What is logic to give best film award to #Animal and best actor award #ShahRukhKhan for Jawan. I was never interested in these Bollywood awards, but this level of Capri?? #RanbirKapoor in Animal was rage and SRK in #Jawan is tatti.” Another user echoed a similar sentiment, tweeting, “Isliye toh SRK ne host kiya tha ki best actor ka award miljaye?? Deserving toh Vikrant Massey or Ranbir Kapoor tha??” (sic).
Despite the mixed reactions, both Shah Rukh Khan and Bobby Deol delivered memorable performances, each securing their places in Bollywood’s 2023 highlights. The ongoing fan debate only fuels the passion that surrounds Bollywood and its stars, keeping the excitement alive both on and off the screen.
