In her acceptance speech, Alia Bhatt acknowledged Shah Rukh Khan by stating, "Let me begin by thanking Shah Rukh Khan for providing me with my first opportunity to produce a film.

Without you, this would not have been possible."

During a press conference for the upcoming film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Alia Bhatt disclosed that she sought Shah Rukh Khan's assistance in perfecting lip-syncing for a song, based on Karan Johar's suggestion. While Alia initially intended for a simple phone conversation, it unexpectedly transformed into an extensive lesson at Shah Rukh Khan's residence. Notably, Alia Bhatt was not alone in her endeavor, as Suhana Khan also joined her for the lip-sync tutorial session. Moreover, Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan also shared the Koffee With Karan couch during one episode, strengthening their bond further.
