The
11th
edition
of
the
IIFA
awards
event
is
going
to
kick
start
on
3rd
June
amidst
all
the
controversies
that
surround
the
prestigious
International
Indian
Film
Academy.
The
event
will
be
graced
by
several
Bollywood
superstars
and
their
fans,
who
will
be
taking
a
trip
to
the
Emerald
Island
to
meet
their
stars.
The
Sri
Lankan
Beauty
Jacqueline
Fernandez,
who
has
made
her
mark
in
Bollywood,
is
very
excited
about
the
event
taking
place
at
her
motherland.
In
a
recent
interview,
she
revealed
that
the
IIFA
is
one
of
the
biggest
events
to
be
held
in
Sri
Lanka.
The
former
Miss
Sri
Lanka
has
quite
a
few
roles
to
play
at
the
event.
She
will
be
performing
with
a
dance
troupe
from
her
native
country
and
will
also
be
walking
the
ramp
for
the
designers
Manish
Malhotra
and
Yoland.
Though,
the
big
Bollywood
stars
such
as
Shahrukh
Khan,
Arjun
Rampal,
AB
Junior
and
his
wife
will
be
missing
the
event,
most
of
the
Bollywood
stars
would
be
present
in
Colombo.
Hotshot
designer
Manish
Malhotra
tweeted
that
he
has
been
working
overtime
on
the
collection
that
he
will
be
presenting
at
the
IIFA
fashion
night.
The
charity
match
to
be
played
between
the
B-town
stars
and
the
Sri
Lankan
team
is
also
being
looked
forward
to.
Hrithik
Roshan
is
supposed
to
lead
the
Bollywood
team.
The
main
event
will
be
broadcast
globally
on
the
Star
Plus
for
the
viewers,
who
will
be
watching
from
home.
IIFA
Awards
will
act
as
a
connecting
bridge
to
improve
the
relations
between
the
two
nations,
which
had
weakened
post
the
LTTE
war.
Let"s
hope,
the
event
turns
out
to
be
a
huge
success
and
manages
to
bring
India
and
Sri
Lanka
close
again.
