Netizens unhappy
Netizens were unhappy with Alia and Ranbir winning Best actor-actress award. They called out the award show and dubbed it as biased and Alia-Ranbir undeserving.

Another wrote, "Man who revived Bollywood with 2700 cr+ in single year , the best actor award would've been bare minimum you should've done for the King of Bollywood!"
The third one wrote, "Best actress deserved to Rani Mukherjee for Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway and Best actor to Shahrukhan for Jawan or DUNKI.."
The fourth one mentioned, "Alia for RRKPK like seriously?? So rigged man !!"
The next one mentioned, " Rani Mukerji deserved it much more than Alia.."
