While there is still a little time for the Bollywood award season, an event marking the beginning of IIFA (International Indian Film Academy Awards) kickstarted on Tuesday night. The IIFA 2023 press conference was headlined by Salman Khan. Also present at the event were Bollywood actors Farhan Akhtar, Varun Dhawan, filmmakers Karan Johar and Farah Khan, rapper Badshah among others. Salman Khan made a stylish red carpet appearance in a grey suit. Varun Dhawan added a dash of colour to the red carpet. He was dressed in a quirky t-shirt with a tub of popcorn printed on it. Farhan Akhtar kept his look largely formal too. Karan Johar, as always, added a hint of bling to the red carpet.
