Shah Rukh Khan is back to hosting duties at this year’s Filmfare Awards, but if leaked videos from the rehearsals are anything to go by, the star will be doing much more than just dance this weekend. A video shared by a Shah Rukh fan club shows the 59-year-old star turning back the clock and dancing to Ladki Badi Anjaani Hai from his 1998 film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
