Being his witty best, he also said that he loves getting awards, as there is something about the trophies that excites him. Being someone who always wanted to be on the stage, he says there is a special feeling associated with the podium. He recounts the time he won his first Filmfare award, and how he was convinced that his mother saw it from up above.

Khan will take to the stage at the 63rd edition of the award show and is prepared for it. He jokingly says that he knows he is the best host as he does not need a teleprompter, has a good looking face and can dance well. These qualities make him the best person available to host the award show. His desire to be on the Filmfare stage has only grown with time.
