Bollywood stars have reached New York and are having some crazy fun before the main IIFA Awards ceremony, which will take place over the weekend. After Sonakshi Sinha rung the closing bell at Nasdaq, Times Square, yesterday, here's a quick glance at what all took place on day 1 of the grand gala:
Stars like Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sonakshi Sinha were seen rehearsing and we can't wait to see their performances.
Shahid Kapoor has some crazy moves in store for you.
Just 2 days to Varun Dhawan's magnificent performance.
Alia Bhatt prepping for her breathtaking IIFA debut performance.
Day 1 started with a press conference where Shahid Kapoor, Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon took the stage. Salman looked handsome in a black suit while Katrina looked beautiful in a red dress. Shahid wore a black kurta and Varun was in his quirky semi-formal avatar. Alia sported a monochromatic off-shoulder dress, while Sushant kept it casual and Kriti looked pretty in a blue dress.
Interestingly, Salman Khan made Katrina blush as he sung a birthday song for her along with Alia, Varun, Shahid, Kriti and Sushant. Katrina Kaif celebrates her birthday on July 16.
Disha Patani also attended an IIFA event and looked super sexy in a yellow dress:
