It’s that time of year again and excitement is building up. The 19th edition of the International Indian Film and Academy (IIFA) will be held in Bangkok, Thailand, where it was held a decade ago. Speaking about the upcoming awards do at a press conference in Delhi, the dishy Ranbir Kapoor let his nervousness show. “When we dance for films there is a camera and there are takes but when you dance for a live audience there is just that one take so you have to give your best. There are no cuts.” This explains why he is practising his steps constantly. “I want to rehearse more because I want to better myself,” he adds. His humility is always refreshing!
IIFA returning to Bangkok also holds a special significance for Ranbir as it was the place where he first won his IIFA award for his debut film Saawariya. “I am looking forward,” he added. Also rocking the IIFA stage in his own way will be Karan Johar. He gushed over how the IIFA stage is always the most glamorous. “It is large and has all the epicness... Also this year we have so many performances... We have Ranbir Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor and many other movie stars who are going to light up the stage in Bangkok and I can't wait to get back,” he said.

Karan also let slip the piece of info that all are interested in: who throws the best after-parties at IIFA? “It's always Salman Khan, who has the best after parties. He is definitely the man who brings everyone together in one room. So every time there's IIFA and Salman is there, there's always a big after-party in his room.”

Also performing onstage will be Shahid Kapoor, whom Ranbir calls “impeccable” on stage. However, he revealed that he will most likely not be joined by wife Mira, who is expecting, and daughter Misha. The younger set will be thrilled to see Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’s Kartik Aryan debuting as a host at the event. Like we said, the excitement is building up for the three-day gala, starting June 22, Bangkok.
