The magic of old-school award shows is something we constantly look back on. And every now and then, a viral throwback post reminds us of a moment that simply cannot be forgotten. We’re talking about the time two of Bollywood’s biggest stars, Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, came together to deliver an act that left the entire industry in splits.

 

This iconic moment happened at the 57th Filmfare Awards in 2012. The night was already memorable as the two superstars were co-hosting the event for the very first time. Their chemistry as hosts, the blend of Shah Rukh’s legendary wit and Ranbir’s charming energy was a massive hit. But it was one particular segment that truly cemented their place in Filmfare history.

The year 2011 belonged entirely to Vidya Balan and her brave, powerful performance in The Dirty Picture, where she played the controversial character Silk Smitha. Vidya was sweeping all the Best Actress awards that season, and the film was the talk of the town for its boldness and success. Naturally, when Shah Rukh and Ranbir decided to have fun, they had to go all out.

 

In a surprise move, both Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor walked onto the stage dressed head-to-toe as Silk Smitha. The moment they appeared, the audience erupted in laughter. They wore bright colourful sarees in the iconic style of Vidya’s character. It was a spectacular sight of two leading men completely shedding their superstar image to deliver a comedic masterclass.
