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’.

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. Back in 2006, I was a background dancer performing at IIFA. In 2013, when I made my debut (Kai Po Che), I got a chance to perform, and in 2017, I’m nominated as Best Actor. My mother would say that your life is a story that you tell…”
