Neha Dhupia went an extra mile to make a mark at IIFA
This year’s IIFA held in the Lion City of Singapore witnessed quite a few starry things, be it Ranbir Kapoor making his international stage debut and shaking a leg with dad Rishi Kapoor or a veteran like Rekha getting felicitated for her contribution to Indian Cinema, everything about IIFA was just special.

Films like The Dirty Picture, Rockstar and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara went on ruling the roost while stars like Vidya Balan, Ranbir Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar and many more left all captivated and mesmerized. Amidst the entire affair, one thing which caught the frenzy of all was the stunning act of Neha Dhupia.      

As heard, she turned out to be rock chick with her super chick performance at 13th IIFA awards. In order to create a niche and make a mark on the hearts of the audience, Neha went an extra mile to think out of the box and performed accordingly. The actress grabbed eyeballs by dancing to the beats of Dhunki, Bachchu and Aazma etc.

Neha spoke on the same saying, "I am trying to break away from the usual and the ordinary performances, something that is expected out of all of us and I am trying to push the button and do.”

We wish Neha to perform the same way in her upcoming flicks to spellbound everyone

Chitrangada Singh to turn host of IIFA Rocks
Here comes good news for the fans of Ayushmaan Khurana and Chitrangda Singh, as for the first time the stars are teaming up together.

VJ-turned-actor Ayushmann and Chitrangada are set to turn host of IIFA Rocks, a fashion and music night, to be held in Singapore as part of the 13th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) weekend and awards and the duo is quite excited.

"I have not done anything like that before, something that (Ayushmann) does really well. I am so glad that he is with me on stage. I know he is going to take care of all the times I slip-up while hosting the show," Chitrangada told the sources.

Though Ayushmann has anchored various shows, he is excited that he would be sharing the stage with the actress he has admired for long. "It a bit awkward moment when you meet a person you find extremely good-looking, you see that person right in front of you in real flesh and blood. She is an actress of all seasons," quipped Ayushmann, who is riding high on the success of his debut film Vicky Donor.

"This is going to be my first time at IIFA. I have hosted many shows before but this is the biggest of all. I’m going to keep it spontaneous. I don`t think I’ll be performing on stage but I might sing," he added.

We are sure you must have been looking forward to their jugalbandi!
