When asked about what is going to be special this year, Vicky Kaushal replied, “Is baar special yeh rahega ki Shah Rukh sir ke saath host krne ka mauka milega. He is the king. He is the badshah. Aur unse itna kuch seekhne ko milta hai hamesha. So, I am really looking forward to that. [This time, the special thing will be that I’ll get the chance to host with Shah Rukh sir. He is the king.

Earlier, in another interview with the same portal, Siddhant Chaturvedi opened up about his nervousness about hosting alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar.

So, I hope ki mai vo bar at least vaha tak thoda nibha pau. Lekin maza ayega. Mujhe aisa lagta hai bahut maza aana hai. [I am more nervous than excited because Shah Rukh sir and Karan sir are both amazing hosts. They are very natural on stage. So, I hope I can at least live up to that standard a little. But it will be fun. I feel like it is going to be a lot of fun.]”
