In the latest IIFA Awards organised in Abu Dhabi, Shah Rukh Khan was awarded the Best Actor award for his role in Jawan. Khan, who also hosted the event, said he was "extremely grateful" for the award.

In his acceptance speech, Khan said, "It's good to be back. I'm extremely grateful for this award. I love awards, I'm greedy about awards...I'm genuinely back and I'm really happy to end the year like this..."

While Khan's Jawan was among the biggest hits last year, Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal stole the show by winning the Best Picture award at the event.
