IIFA 2015

The IIFA Fashion Extravaganza saw Bollywood’s biggest stars set the red carpet ablaze as they flaunted their favourite designer wear and raised the style quotient. Held in Malaysia and hosted by famous duo, Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor, the event fell in its 16^th year.

 

Both Queen and Haider were the biggest winners on the night, bagging the leading trophies. Kangana Ranaut won Best Female, whilst Shahid Kapoor won Best Male. Shahid, 34, dedicated his award to Vishal for giving him the opportunity and called the film a “scary” one.

“I would like to thank Vishal Bhardwaj for this recognition. A very big thank you to him for believing in me. Today, I am standing here because of him. It was a scary film to do because we thought people will never love and understand this film.”
