SCREEN Awards 2026: Zakir Khan's joked about Alia Bhatt's bond with AIB team members.At the Chetak Screen Awards 2026 held on Sunday in Mumbai, the star-studded night was hosted by comedians Zakir Khan and Sunil Grover, along with Alia Bhatt and Saurabh Dwivedi. During one segment of the show, Zakir and Alia shared a fun banter, during which the comedian reminded the actor of the time when she appeared in videos by All India Bakchod (AIB) and shared a good bond with them.During this playful segment, Zakir tried to invite Alia on stage, but she was seen relishing her favourite snack—french fries. After much resistance, she came on stage and told Zakir, “Itna sab kuch bol diya apne bina roast kare (You have said so many things here without roasting anyone).”Zakir responded, “Mein roast nahi karta mam, mere dost roast karte hai. Aapke bhi toh dost thay woh FIR ke pehle (I don’t roast mam, my friends do it. They were also your friends before the FIR).”For the unversed, AIB used to host a series—All India Bakchod Knockout—during which they invited famous personalities and a panel of comedians to roast them. AIB faced major controversy after their 2015 AIB Knockout roast featuring Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor drew backlash for vulgarity and legal threats. Later, in 2018, some members of the comedy collective faced MeToo allegations, which eventually led to the dissolution of AIB.Before All India Bakchod (AIB) succumbed to controversies, Alia Bhatt had featured in several of their videos. One parody video included her taking a dig at herself after she couldn’t name the President of India on Koffee with Karan following the release of her debut film Student of the Year.Major winners at Chetak Screen Awards 2026The evening also saw major wins across categories, with Dhurandhar emerging as the biggest winner, taking home 14 awards including Best Actor (Male) for Ranveer Singh and Best Director for Aditya Dhar.
