IIFA 2017: Shahid Kapoor wins Best Actor award; Sushant Singh Rajput posts cryptic tweet!

Mumbai: Sushant Singh Rajput set the stage on fire with a sizzling performance at the IIFA 2017 event in New York Saturday. He was one of the nominees in the Best Actor category for his role in ‘M.S.Dhoni: The Untold Story’. However, he couldn’t quite bag the trophy as Shahid Kapoor emerged winner for his Tommy Singh act in ‘Udta Punjab’.

If the reports are anything to go by, then SSR took to Twitter to post a cryptic tweet soon after Shahid was announced as the winner.

He tweeted:

According to Deccan Chronicle, while talking about his IIFA nominations, SSR during a press conference before the awards event said, “Me and IIFA (International Indian Film Academy Awards) go back a long way.

My mother would say that your life is a story that you tell…”
