Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aditi Rao Hydari, Malaika Arora, Jaideep Ahlawat, and many others Bollywood stars graced The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2025 (IFFM) last month. The awards night was hosted by comedian Sapan Verma, who recently shared a clip from his opening monologue. True to his style, he delivered a rib-tickling roast—teasing Aamir for his non-stop promotions of 'Sitaare Zameen Par' and taking a witty dig at Abhishek's spirited battles with trolls on Twitter.Sapan’s hilarious dig at Aamir KhanAs seen in the video, Sapan is seen joking about Khan’s several interviews before 'Sitaare Zameen Par' could hit cinemas. With his signature wit, he quipped, “Aamir Khan, as we all know, was so good this year in all the 450 interviews he did to promote 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. Sir, you did so much promotion that at one point I got worried—when my doorbell rang, I thought you had personally come to tell me to watch the film."Aamir’s YouTube-first gambleAs mentioned by News18, it was reported that the actor was offered Rs 120 crore by a streaming platform to buy the OTT rights of 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. Instead, he surprised everyone by choosing a YouTube-first release. Reacting to this decision during his set, Sapan called it a “historic move” and joked that turning down over Rs 100 crore was no small feat and further stated that this much amount is what Akshay Kumar makes in a month.Meanwhile, Sapan also hilariously took a playful swing at Junior Bachchan. He said that it has been a very special year for the ‘Housefull 5’ actor. “You completed 25 years in the industry. 25 years, out of which Abhishek spent 15 years acting in theatrical films. About 7 years acting in OTT films for about 7 years. And 3 years fighting with trolls on Twitter," said Sapan.Awards nightKhan was honoured with the prestigious Excellence in Cinema Award at IFFM 2025. His film saw him starring opposite Genelia Deshmukh in the lead roles. Interestingly, it was later revealed that the film drew inspiration from the acclaimed 2018 Spanish film 'Champions', which is directed by Javier Fesser and was released in 2018.
