IIFA: Shahrukh Khan is the Best Actor of the Decade

There was tremendous curiosity over the Best Actor of the decade award this year at the IIFA and Shahrukh Khan has been awarded the coveted trophy for his performances in Chak De India (2008), Devdas (2003) and Veer Zaara (2005).

SRK over the last decade has managed to maintain his position as one of the top actors in the industry and at the age of 44, the actor shows no sign of slowing down. His list of upcoming films include Karan Johar’s My Name Is Khan, Superhero film RA – 1, Farah Khan’s Happy New Year and Farhan Akhtar’s Don 2.

The other top contender for the Best Actor of the decade award, Hrithik Roshan, missed out on the decade award but won the Best Actor of the year award for his fabulous performance in Jodha Akbar.

  • With all due respect to SRK, Hrithik should have won this award. Who can forget performances like Koi Mil Gaya where he swept not only all the Best Actor awards but also all of the critics Awards. How about the fact that of the 13 films he has a lead or supporting role in, he was nominated for an award for 8 of them! That is something unmatchable!! He has regularly received not only recognition from the public but also from the critics.

  • I’m really really really happy that SRK won this award!!! SRK deserves this award and he also deserves the best actor award!! I really dont think hrithik deserves the best actor award because till now I havent liked any of his films and I dont like hrithik!!!!!! SRK i love you and your the best and will always be!!!!!!! love you loads srk!!!!!!

  • hi

  • Congratulations Shahrukh.. I’m really happy that you won.. you just deserve it ( now the haters are soooo angry!!) let them be.

  • WAIT a moment ……STAR OF THE DECADE is different from ACTOR OF THE DECADE……..SRK do not deserve the ACTOR of the Decade award …..but he deserves STAR of the decade award…Bcoz he always has been in the limelight and has good fan following then others BCOZ of his past decade films like DDLJ ,Bazzigar,DTPH AND KKHH…..BUT if u take the present decade any of his film releases and its HIT bcoz of his fans but not of subject the film has ……but if u c from 2000 to 2009 the decade has been of HRITHIK ROSHAN bcoz of his acting capabilites and talent he has ….HE has shown us differnent and variable roles in very less time of 8 years but SRK who has been in industry for more then 16 yrs did only masala romantic movies except chak de which all loook similar romantic movies …in this decade u can compare any award functions from 2000-2009 u will c HRITHIK bagging 4 best actor awards and SRK 3….. HRITHIK did all types of films in this decade ……..so SRK Is the STAR OF THE DECADE but ultimately if anyone who would be ACTOR OF THE DECADE then its one and only the superhero supercool superstar and shenshah …..HRITHIK ROSHAN….

  • best of actor of the decade, shah rukh khan ??

    but why ??

    what has he done to deserve this award. nothing !

    lets debate and look at the facts, film by film. compare to other actors. remember we are not talking about the star with the most successful fims or the most star power, but the star who is the BEST ACTOR.

    completely different thing.

    lets debate, cos one name that crops to mind instantly who should be the best actor of the decade is paresh rawal. surely paresh rawal is a better actor than shah rukh ??? there are several other worthy candidates, and mr amitabh bhachan is one of them.

    so, without a doubt, this award is a fix and has gone to the most popular actor.

    lets debate and prove this award a farce.

  • I am soooooo happy that shahrukh won at least one award this year. :) He really deserve this award. He proved his talents and showed his charm by movies like K3G, Veer Zaara, Swadesh(though not a hit won good critical acclaim and SRK won the best actor award for his performance in the movie), Chak De India.

    He deserve this award more than anyone else, because when he was coming to the industry he was noone. There were no one to help him unlike for Hrithik(Who came to the industry and climbed up in the industry mostly with the help of his father), Amir(who stepped into the industry with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak directed by his cousin,Mansoor Khan and whose most family members were part of the film industry) and Abhishek(who is just using his father’s name shamelessly and not showing a single sign of talent).

    Whereas SRK has made his own identity with his hard work and the whole world has accepted his good work. Legendary Directors like Karan Johar, Yash Chopra and Farah Khan became friends of him after he came to the industry and they continued to offer Shahrukh good films when they saw his fantastic performance and when they realized how much he is being accepted by the audience.

    MANY MANY CONGRATULATIONS SHAH RUKH!! You are the true king of Bollywood. I wish u’ll win the “Actor of the next decade award” and the “Actor of the 21st century award” too.. :) All the best for your future.

  • Not deserving. I think Amir Khan Should have won that award. He delivered only hits and super hits.
    if we look at the list: -lagaan
    – Dil chahta hai
    – Mangal panday
    – Fanaa
    – Rang de Basanti
    – Taare Zameen par
    – Ghajini

    And the important part is that he experimented with all these films. Most talented actor alive

  • Spiderman: R you drunk or what?!!!! Paresh Rawal?!!! hahahahahhahahhahahhahahhahha

    You know what.. instead of posting some stupid comments of yours.. just go and crawl on some buildings like spiders do in the night

    Akki’s fans: dream of this day.. might come true but when he reaches the age of 80!!

  • the IIFA was such a joke. Ash as best actress of the decade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for which movies. Abhishek for what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will indicine please send a message to the Bachan family. They have turned the IIFA into a circus. i have no respect for the awards. it will really take something big to change this decision. we know Rani deserved it but afterall she is Ash’s enemy. Rani, the best thing for you is that you did not end up in a family that has become such a joke. here is SA, we just laughed at the winners. Ash best actress of the decade……………..i am still laughing. i used to respect and admire Jaya and Amithji……..

  • Saifa: She deserves the award.. why not?! Didn’t u like her acting in the following movies of the decade:

    Jodha Akbar, Umrao Jaan, Dhoom2, Taal & Provoked, also in Shabd.. Shabd wasn’t a great movie but her acting was good. Rani too is a good actor.. I loved her acting in Hum Tum & Black, but can’t remember that she did a great work in any other movies in 10 years ( if u do remember so please mention them) Aishwariya for sure won the award because she worked harder and in some more difficult roles than Rani did.

    Abhishek deserves to win the award as the best actor in a comic role for Dostana.. Honestly.. we’re all different people.. with me.. I loved Dostana and found it a very very funny movie.. a quality comedy unlike those crap comedies e.g. Golmaal, Welcome cc2c and the rest.

  • Rocky get a life!!!!!!! Aamir you must be kidding!! AAmir sucks no offence!!! hes an idiot he doesnt even know how to act!!! hahaha!! i hate aamir n luv ya srk!!!!!!

  • Rani had more hits than anybody else male or female namely;
    1. Hum tum
    2. Saathiya
    3. Chalthe Chalthe
    4. Veer Zaara
    5. Yuva
    6. Kabhi alvidha na kehena
    7. Black
    8. Bunty aur Bubli

    to name just a few….Dhoom2 and jodha Akbar were Hrithiks movies. Bibasha was better in Dhoom2. Taal was from the previous decade. what is Ash’s claim to fame. She was Miss World, had a fantastic mate like Salman and has married into the Bachan family.

  • Saifa: I agree that Rani did a good job in the movies which u mentioned:

    Hum Tum, Sathiyaa, Kank & Black, but Bunty Aur Bubly wasn’t a very good movie, and nothing was special in her acting, I didn’t like her acting in the last scene of Chalte Chalte too.

    Well, who wins and who doesn’t.. it’s a fate, being lucky or unlucky, now Aishwariya never fitted to be a Bachan’s bahu but Rani did ( and this didn’t happen) Rani was the most matching pair with Abhishek, as I said, it’s a fate.. and I always had a feeling that Aishwariya didn’t marry Abhishek because she loved him.. she just wanted to steal him from Rani..a revenge only because she stole the movie Chalte Chalte from her! No one knows, but that might be a reason.

  • FathiYa:U thInk Only u Know whiCh FiLms WeRe GoOd anD whiCh is BaD whT the f ,do u think about urself!!!!

    It is all Bachan family award and winNer are Their family member and his friendsS…

  • saifa – i agree with you totally. especially concerning rani mukherjee. i know this for sure – ashwarya rai definately did NOT deserve that award. it was fixed, theres no doubt.

    fathiya – from now on we are all going to refer to you as the miserable old woman (M.O.W for short) ! so why dont you just go and ponder down ponders end !!

  • Just shutup spiderman.. why do you say: “we are all going….” who are you all?!! Saifa and you?! I don’t think that u both are ruling this website!!

  • What??? Hrithik ???? Deserves it??? wHY??? What acting did he do in this decade??? Stupid Koi Mil Gaya or Krrish or Dhoom2??? All of these movies were based on action, dance and good looking but no acting.
    The only movie where there was some acting is Jodha Akbar.
    Shahrukh made a lot movies great acting: Mohabbatein, Devdas, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Veer Zaara, Swades, Chak De India, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
    So he is the Greatest Actor and the greatest Star.

  • What?? srk IS A Bachchan family friend??? Are you joking??? iF YOU CALL srk THEIR Friend so what you will call Hirithik their son???!!!

  • well….first of all congratulation to the king khan as well as all the fans of srk….and wishes and pray to god to give the power to all the jealous disliker of srk…to bear this great pain…..i dont mind people scolding srk due to jealous toward his success….
    anyway this is really a very happy news …that the king khan won this award …. i am very very happy…. lov u and wish for u ….sssssssrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkk

  • SRK is no doubt best ator of the decade………..s=super r=rocking k=khan
