Every year filmwalas wait for the IIFA weekend to kick start. After all, it is a weekend where the entire Hindi film industry comes together to celebrate cinema and acknowledge and appreciate the best work of the year gone by. On Friday, IIFA weekend began with their first event IIFA Rocks. This year IIFA is being held at Bangkok and our actors are already giving us a sneak peek of what is going on behind this extravaganza. So the show won’t be aired anytime soon, but if you want to know what happened last night, worry not, we’ve got you covered. Here’s all the madness that happened in Bangkok last evening.
Here we go!
